Welcome to The Friday Vinyl Club Podcast — where every day feels like Friday and every record tells a story.
This week, I’m delighted to welcome my great friend, Margaret, dialling in from South London for a deep dive into her vinyl pick: Tim Finn’s 1983 debut solo album, Escapade.
Margaret shares warm, early musical memories, crediting her dad’s influence and explaining how Escapade — and its hit single, “Fraction Too Much Friction” — helped her learn English as a teenager in the Netherlands. She recounts the humorous discovery of the link between Split Enz, Tim Finn, and Neil Finn of Crowded House, and how music became a bridge across family and culture.
Along the way, we touch on how platforms like TikTok are shaping her kids’ musical education, and she recommends “Undressed” by Sombr. Stick around until the end to hear which track became the ultimate family singalong on long trips!
