Kirsty MacColl: They Don’t Know

Square

Winsome 1979 single by the lovely Kirsty, who died in a Mexican speedboat accident aged only 41. Her dad, the great class warrior Ewan MacColl (born James Miller), used to live with Peggy Seeger round the corner from us in suburban Shortlands, Bromley – just about the least edgy environment you could imagine.
