WET WET WET TOPPED THE CHART IN AUGUST 1994 WITH LOVE IS ALL AROUND
In 1994, Wet Wet Wet had their biggest hit, a cover version of the Troggs single "Love Is All Around", which was a huge international success and spent fifteen weeks atop the British charts. This long run at number one was helped by the runaway success of the movie Four Weddings and a funeral.
The film follows the fortunes of Charles and his friends as they wonder
if they will ever find true love and marry. Charles thinks he's found
"Miss Right" in Carrie, an American. This British subtle comedy revolves
around Charlie, his friends and the four weddings and one funeral which
they attend.

Putting
together this weeks 1994 blog brought back great memories of when I got
one of those last minute calls "could you come over with a P.A. for
Charlie McGettigan's homecoming here in Drumshanbo" Well we did and had a
blast on that magic day singing along with the Rock'n Roll kid as we
celebrated Charlie & Paul's Eurovision victory.I tell you when I
think of it I'm always amazed at how many talented people live here in
my locality..Dermot.

BRIT POP 1994
Noel Gallagher began working on "Live Forever" in 1991, while working for a building company in his hometown of Manchester.
After his foot was crushed by a pipe in an accident, he was given a
less-strenuous job working in the storeroom, allowing him more time to
write songs. One night, he was listening to The Rolling Stones' album Exile on Main St.;
while playing one of his own chord progressions, Gallagher noted that
it sounded good against one of the vocal melodies from the album: "It
was the bit from "Shine a Light"
that goes [sings], "May the good Lord shine a light on you"", Gallagher
recalled. Gallagher incorporated the melody, changing the line to
"Maybe I don't really want to know".

the Petshopboys one of the editors.
In 1994 everyone was going cross-eyed trying to see pictures hidden in a mosaic of coloured dots.Everyone had a different recipe to make the images appear - staring at a point on the wall behind the picture, looking at it through glass, in a mirror,
But basically you could either see the picture or you couldn't, which left half the country convinced they had been the victims of a massive April Fools' joke.
Magic Eye images may be easier to see if viewed on paper rather than a
computer screen. If possible, print this image and follow the
instructions below. (You don't need to print in color.) Hold the center of the printed image right up to your nose. It
should be blurry. Focus as though you are looking through the image
into the distance. Very slowly move the image away from your face until
the two squares above the image turn into three squares. If you see four
squares, move the image farther away from your face until you see three squares. If you see one or two squares, start over!
When you clearly see three squares, hold the page still, and the hidden
image will magically appear. Once you perceive the hidden image and
depth, you can look around the entire 3D image. The longer you look, the
clearer the illusion becomes. The farther away you hold the page, the
deeper it becomes. Good Luck!
