Following this week’s Quick Read on some of my favourite musical moments in movies, we asked for some of your recommendations and had a great response on social media.
It’s an eclectic mix for sure, but definitely some great stuff to check out next time you’re looking for something musical to enjoy…
Just a quick note – most responses simply included the artists and films, rather than any specific tracks, but I’m pretty sure a quick Google or YouTube search will lead you where you need to go. You’re a smart bunch, after all.
