With the Coronavirus lockdown ramping up the cabin fever, many artists are passing the time streaming live performances on their social media pages to their cooped-up fans.
With a crisp €25 Golden Discs voucher to be won, I want to know which song you would most like to see beamed into your living room via a virtual gig by a living artist.
Here’s mine.
Please include video links if possible.
The winner will be chosen by my window cleaner.
Lines close at 9.30pm.
Nick says: Good luck.

Stevie Nicks. Anything by Stevie Nicks. I would just love to relive the time I saw her with Fleetwood Mac a number of years back (I am not disclosing anything). She was magical!
But what song to choose? I am going with Sorcerer, which first came out in the wonderful Streets of Fire, but I really like her version with Sheryl Crowe. If I win, can I get both of them in my prize?

Both.. greedy greedy.. Ms. Nicks asked me out once.. sadly it was from the hotel suite she was in ..
Oh, behave!
… at least in future :-)
