Tom Dunne's Music & Me: When my wife cooked for the Rolling Stones

It was nice to hear the tale of how one of our household items was a present from Charlie Watts, but then came the story of how they wanted Audrey to sing on their record...

Tom Dunne is a music-lover extraordinaire who, as well as presenting radio and TV shows, can also be seen in the wild as the lead singer with Something Happens.

We all have a past. Once you turn about 25 and you meet someone new it’s a given. Best advice: Don’t ask questions. The past is another country and all that. Even if there is a framed photograph of your new potential partner in the arms of Mick Jagger on top of their TV. Move on, nothing to see here.

There was a second framed photo in the bathroom. This time it was ‘future partner’ in the arms of Keith Richards. This also made but a cursory impression on me. Flush the toilet, wash your hands and banish all thoughts of Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithful from your mind, I told myself.
