Music
on the Pass of the Cattle
The video of the route to the Pass of the Cattle on the way
to the remote village of Applecross has calm music as the film
records the climb. It's a very memorable route and the more
so when you have made that long climb in an MGV8. Link
& Route photos & map. More
Victor Smith feels it's a route well worth doing when you are
visiting the Northwest Highlands and heading for the route from
Strathcarron. |

Wuthering
Heights
Kate Bush topped the UK singles chart for four weeks with her
stunning debut single "Wuthering Heights". Link
David Macadam says "she is just not like anybody else.
Her theatrical voice is a force of nature and her lush, layered
self-productions are works of art. She’s a wildly physical
performer. Her music simply revives you". |

Telegraph
Road
It's
a is
a song by British rock band Dire Straits, written by Mark Knopfler.
It's the opening track on their 1982 album. Link
Ian Quarrington's likes the track as a piece of music to drive
to and a memory from the 1970s. He says it's a long record to
listen to but so good to hear instruments being played and not
music conjured up by a computer. |

On
Days Like These
Performed by Matt Monro - for the opening sequence of the film
The Italian Job. Link
Keith Belcher says instantly I’m Rossano Brazzi cruising
up the Great St Bernard Pass in the Alps; But not in a Miura,
I’m in my MGBGTV8, the addictive multi-cylinder growl,
with Matt’s song, casually dreaming of what might have
been. |

Songbird
Performed by Christine McVie, the
singer, songwriter and keyboardist who became the biggest hitmaker
for Fleetwood Mac.
It's a sensitive ballad that for years served as the band’s
closing encore in concert. Link
Ken Clayton says there are so many! But mine
would be Songbird although I never play music in the RV8, I
just love the sound of the engine! |

Moonlight
Shadow
Music from Mike Oldfield on the Tubular Bells recording from
the year of the launch of the MGBGTV8 model in 1973. On later
recordings there is Maggie Reilly singing Moonlight Shadow.
Victor Smith says it's a magical piece of music with Sally Oldfield
singing those moving words - almost haunting at times and then
finally fading away. Link |
