Radio Elton John

Elton has always been something of a Francophile, a lover of France, and has also scooped the country's biggest honour for a foreign national. We are crossing the Canale Le Manche to a city that has welcomed Elton with open arms, albeit in calmer times than street protests this week! Neil Barrett takes us on a trip to revisit Paris, this brilliant song from the 1986 Leather Jackets album. Neil will drill to the core of Paris and through the barricades! Check it out plus previous monthly episodes on Silver on REJ.World or the REJ APP, available now from eltonjohn.app . Available on the second Friday each month.
