Lulu's Back In Town By Danny McCahon It's 1969 and Glasgow singer Lulu is making her mark on television with her own series complete with guest stars from the world of music and variety. Meanwhile she's also working hard in the recording studio but the hits are harder to come by. Lulu cares passionately about music and is torn between being expected to record lightweight pop songs and the more soulful music she would prefer to work on. On a personal level life is also changing: she's just met and is in a relationship with Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. Can Lulu successfully divide her energies in so many directions? Is it time to settle down into family life? Is it time to stop worrying about the charts?

To Lulu with love
calvinsx
A nice portrait of Lulu beginning in 1969 and continuing into her second marriage and the birth of her son. Fine performances by the radio actors and a decent representation of Lulu's life and struggles. She is a national treasure after all.
Thank you!
