Mary Bradley was a very close friend of the Lovely Lewie who commemorated him in this song. He was actually a Martin, but a transvestite singer and dancer in and around Clapham who called himself Mary. Martin died a few years ago but its nice that he is held in the heart of this great song.
Funny how I been listening to this all my life, well every Xmas anyway but only just been introduced to the brilliant "Kitchen at parties" on the Chris Evans radio 2 show, did this fella do loads of stuff or is he a kinda KLF affair?

At the age of 30 I'm discovering the musical oddity that is Jona. I knew this song but never knew about his other stuff. What a character, what a style icon!
liked it then and still like it now, those of you who don't like it don't fuckin listen to it, simple as.

I really love his accent and the instruments they remind me of a marching band in ermm York i think it was.

Interested in Jona with
"Bring Back the Christmas Number One" - "I'm Going Home"?
I've uploaded it.
I see that 'JonaLewie' channel has part of the same program, where Justin Lee Collins doorsteps Lewie.

I think he was lead singer for "terry dactyl and the dinosaurs" who had a hit with "seaside shuffle" in 72.
