CATH  KIDSTON    FROM  :  Desert  Island  Discs,  Radio  Four    

 

Cheerful   and   practical,   her   products   nod   towards   the  1950s.  She  began  with  ironing  board  covers  but  these  days  you   can   listen   to   a   radio   decorated   with   one   of   her  designs,   pitch   one   of   her   tents   or   decorate   the  children's   bedroom   with   her   cowboy   wallpaper.      In   her  own   room   as   a   child   she   used   to   play   at   keeping   shop.  These  days  her  business  has  a  turnover  of  more  than  £50  million.  "I  really  felt,  from  very,  very  early  on,  I  was  onto  something  with  the  notion  of  what  I  was  doing,"  she  says.  "I  remember  feeling  I'd  really  overstepped  the  mark  when  I  opened  my  second  shop  -­‐  thinking,  that's  probably  going  a  stage  too  far."

Kirsty  Young  :  Let’s  have  your  second  piece  then.  What  are  we  going  to  hear  now?    

: So  next  we’ve  got  Louis  Armstrong  and  Ella  Fitzgerald.   Kirsty  Young  :    And  why  have  you  chosen  this?  

 

: Cos   this   really   reminds  me  of  my  parents   growing  up.     And   it  was   kind  of   going  down   to   their   side   of   the   house   and   my   dad   loved   playing   music.   I   think   of   my   parents   at   the  weekends   cos   that   is  when   they  were   both   around   the  most   and   I  wasn’t   going   to  my   school   or  whatever   it  was.   I  was  out  with  my  pony  and  my  sister   in   the  garden  and   I  was  hanging  out  with  grownups  and  we  had  a  swimming  pool  at  home  and  we  had  music  on  and  friends  and   I   just  and  this  is  so  evocative  of  that  kind  of  period.

Heaven,  I'm  in  heaven    And  my  heart  beats  so  that  I  can  hardly  speak    And  I  seem  to  find  the  happiness  I  seek    When  we're  out  together  dancing  cheek  to  cheek      Heaven,  I'm  in  heaven    And  the  cares  that  hung  around  me  through  the  week    Seem  to  vanish  like  a  gambler's  lucky  streak    When  we're  out  together  dancing  cheek  to  cheek      Oh  I  love  to  climb  a  mountain    And  reach  the  highest  peak    But  it  doesn't  thrill  me  half  as  much    As  dancing  cheek  to  cheek

Oh  I  love  to  go  out  fishing    In  a  river  or  a  creek    But  I  don't  enjoy  it  half  as  much    As  dancing  cheek  to  cheek    

 Now  Mamma  dance  with  me  I  want  my  arms  about  you    Those  charms  about  you  Will  carry  me  through...    

 Yes,  heaven,  I’m  in  heaven  And  my  heart  beats  so  that  I  can  hardly  speak    And  I  seem  to  find  the  happiness  I  seek    When  we're  out  together  dancing  cheek  to  cheek
