Nationality-American?

Just watched an old Top of the Pops episode where Mike Smith conducts a brief interview with Taffy, and she says she’s originally from Deptford, and speaks in a London accent, yet she’s written down as American. Could this be changed on her Wikipedia page? Scf1985 (talk) 13:39, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Scf1985:

Where did you watch it, is that TOTP episode online? Could you please post the link here, or if not, maybe upload it online? There aren't really any trustworthy sources online which confirm where she's from, even this book Europe's Stars of '80s Dance Pop Vol. 2 states that little is known about her, "said to have been American born in New York, or come from Britain (Deptford perhaps...)". Maybe she was born in the U.S. but relocated to London? But if you could have that TOTP episode put online for all to see; if Taffy said herself that she's from Deptford then we can use that video as the most reliable source available. ~Hiddenstranger (talk) 09:26, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Don’t know how to do it personally, but if you type ‘pump up the volume top of the pops 1987’ in the search engine, you should see a link for an episode titled January 29th 1987 which you can watch via WeTransfer. The brief interview is about ten minutes in just before her song ‘I Love My Radio’. Nothing really to add other than what I’ve already written, but you’d have to watch it within the next couple of days as WeTransfer downloads only last about a week, and Mike Smith TOTP episodes are sadly blacklisted by the BBC Scf1985 (talk) 13:17, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I meant to add Facebook search engine when you type in the key words, as you can only watch the link via Facebook Scf1985 (talk) 13:19, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I updated the article with the source, video now online. Hiddenstranger (talk) 15:07, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
