Kim about The Price of Love

The Everly Brothers and ‘The Price of Love’, and that’s the song I’m gonna be singing with my dad Marty Wilde and my sister Roxy at the Cardogan Hall, and it’s part of a weekend of tributed to the Grammy awardwinning country rock guitarist Albert Lee, and he’s celebrating his 70th birtdhay. You’re talking about the man who worked for 20 years with the Everly Brothers – which is one of the reasons my dad decided to do that particular song – but he has worked with absolutely everyone who’s anyone in the music world over many, many years and I’m very, very proud to be meeting him tonight and singing on the stage to celebrate his birthday.
