(I occasionally promote, and manage a musician)<br /><br />I am trying to start an urban myth that Vince Cable was the front man in a band called The Hotwires.Wrinkled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291551539649118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-4323054166449211502009-04-26T11:09:00.000+01:002009-04-26T11:09:00.000+01:00WW.

Must relate this one. <br /><br />The group had just started and we were asked to play at a wedding reception!<br /><br />Halfway through our FIRST number we were asked to leave!!<br /><br />I have often wondered if that marriage lasted. My kids always joked that if they ever did a This is your Life on me they would find that couple to come and kick me!strapworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228784526399929300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-77891786735804110722009-04-26T11:07:00.000+01:002009-04-26T11:07:00.000+01:00I do agree, I look forward to the Tuesday Later wi...I do agree, I look forward to the Tuesday Later with Jools and record it. I first saw The Killers (I am old) on his last series and was so impressed. They reminded me of my days attempting to be a rock star!<br /><br />We had a group-in Middlesbrough late 50's/early sixties. Played the pub scene at £5 a night -which was good money. Our singer modelled himself on Conway Twitty and we cringed everytime he sang (or attempted to sing) Only Make Belief as he could never, ever reach the high notes! GOD we were good!<br /><br />Years later, in another life. I arrived at a Hotel in Birmingham, late, where a driver was waiting to take me to speak to an audience of police officers. In the lift to my room was a small man and his blonde lady -Americans- talking about a good gig that night! I ignored them and rushed to my room- changed and left for the meeting. I was later taken to a Spanish restaurant for a super meal and was poured back into the hotel at about 1am.<br /><br />I went to the lift and waiting there were the same two americans. It was Conway Twitty!! There for the concert (gig) which according to them went really well! I was so taken aback with my hero of yesteryear, his obvious wig, built up heels and still only up to my chin! that I never asked for his autograph! Fame!strapworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228784526399929300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-9162307051292153862009-04-26T01:22:00.000+01:002009-04-26T01:22:00.000+01:00Thanks.

Just couldn't see Clunes as Reggie. Felt weird.<br />HIGNFY has lost the plot a bit. Ian Hyslop lost credibility with his attack on Bloggers ( and Guido in particular on Newsnight ). I see it as another establishment programme.<br />It's Jools rather than Jules Holland I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
