Our Langport Girl was in the Charts!
Here she is folks, Marti Webb, belting out her hit 'Take That Look Off Your Face' on Top of the Pops in February 1980.
The English singer and actress, who lives in Langport, got to number 3 with the song which was taken from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical she starred in 'Tell Me On A Sunday'.
In all, our 'Langport Girl' had 3 hits in the Top 20 including 'Ben' and 'Always There' which was the theme to 1980s TV drama Howard's Way.

So 40 years after 'Take That Look Off Your Face' how does she look and sound today? Just as good - must be the Langport air!
Check her out for yourselves in a recent TV and stage appearance:
Happy 'charts' birthday Marti - anytime you feel like opening your upstairs windows and singing to us Langporters as we pass by - feel free - anything to drown out that rabble at The Swan.
