MEET the pampered pooch that gets around Kentish Town on his owner’s shoulders.
Nine-year-old Chico travels in style by wrapping his paws around Martin O’Brien. And the man and best friend sight has been captured in a new music video from award-winning singer Imelda May, whose new single is all about living in NW5.
As the singer, whose best-known hit is Johnny Got A Boom Boom, prepares for a gig at the HMV Forum in Highgate Road, the video for Kentish Town Waltz shows the sights, including black and white shots of the station, a fruit stall and a tattoo parlour – as well as Mr O’Brien and Chico having a wander.
Mr O’Brien, of Bartholomew Road, said he had yet to see May’s new work, released by Decca Records. “I take Chico all the way up to Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath and then I carry him back on my shoulders,” he explained.
