Cheers CC!

Have a look when I get home, need to hear what you sound like sober, I mean when I am sober.

That's brilliant! What's the name of the song? I know I should know it, cant think of the name.

It's called "Sarah's song", by a Scottish accordionist and composer called Phil Cunningham. Here's what it should sound like...

We had that recorded for Sarah Payne.

Was that the wee girl that was murdered?

Yeah, I was the Fund raising manager for a charity we set up to get things kicked off to make kids safer. We had a lot to do with Sarah's family through this. We started off the safety house campaign which was a part of the push for Sarah's law.
Had Chris Tarrant do a lovely tribute close to where she was snatched from, other side of Worthing and we played Sarah's song, plus Robbies Angels as loads of Doves were released.
Chris Tarrant and Sally Gunnell were great, as was Chris Eubanks, Man Utd and Totenham. We had some great items from Mclaren and also Liverpool FC and Bobby Zamora gave a signed shirt and then ran a memorabillia auction for us, in which we raised huge amounts.
Chris T and Sally, got quite involved in Sarah's Law and the whole campaign.

Tragic story that. Fair play to you Kev. You do an awful lot for those in need.

Cam, you deserved a bigger round of applause at the end. Was there anyone left?

Yeah, it was busier when
I'd played it earlier and it was a lot better but it didn't record for Derek. He wanted to record it for his choir to do later. Got a lot better response the first time. I hear so many mistakes sitting here listening to the second attempt, but at that time of night I was always going to be half-sozzled...

Not really mate, you lot are the only ones now, the Foster kids are easy in comparison.
Seriously we got involved through Jan's matron of honor at our wedding, it took a lot of our spare time but was a great experience and worth every second. I also learnt a lot about people, through it, which was a plus side.
People say they have seen Zara Payne on TV and she came over as a bit vacant and up herself at times, I can assure anyone she had her focus on one thing and that was to try and protect other children from Peado's. I have heard people say, that woman is in it for the money, her brother Paul, smashing bloke, died of cancer during the campaign and shortly after Whiteing was sent down. Her marriage broke up and her and Terry both have severe health problems because of the strain and determination. They were already comfortable and although Zara has been in the limelight for years now she is worse off financially, than when Sarah was alive.

Re Cam's round of applause, he got a massive one in Claddah, especially when Seanocelt and him knocked it out.

well done lr
i think that was a fantastic attempt at stupid o'clock!
you even manage to keep in time to derek's backing track which isn't quite the same tempo you would normally play at

bravo bravo encore encore!!!!!

Impressive stuff especially when drink had been taken.

If there was a icon for doffing your cap I'd use it but instead -

I can honestly say BS, I saw him in Claddah and there was at one time him a girl on a whistle (who was super, Seanocelt on Guitar and vocal and I believe Ebu was just tinkering but can't remember as concentrating on others, it was fabulous.

I kept forgetting to record LR when I did remember it was late on in the evening. To be fair he had a sore lip from playing and did do quite well considering

I was in the Irish times last week when I was in Tenerife. Recommended by the thistle n dragon. What a good night. The young lad who sang- 'chris' I do believe was sweet even if I did quiz him all night!! Will definitely come and see you all again.
