GOING DOTTY OVER WORK!

Polka-dotted Jill Bryson of Strawberry Switchblade says she is on the brink of a nervous breakdown through overwork. She and partner Rose McDowall are shooting up the charts but Jill, a self-confessed agoraphobic, reckons she badly needs a break. ‘We haven’t been able to have a holiday for ages,’ she says.

We’re grateful to the generous people at Zounds Abound for finding us this article. They do such a brilliant job of trawling vintage newspapers for music articles that people want to read today. They’re raising funds and awareness for Teenage Cancer Trust in memory of their son Noah. You can read about Noah, the care the Trust enabled him to have, and make a donation here.

The Strawberry Switchblade fansite and its social media accounts aren’t monetised in any way. If you want to show that kind of appreciation, please donate to the Teenage Cancer Trust in memory of Noah instead. They’ll make far better use of your money than we would.
