Summary: The song I’ve sent you this week ....... I wrote and recorded as the B side to Beatle City which you played a while back….it was a vinyl single which the then Merseyside County Council Tourism Dept commissioned from me. It sold well and I think you’ll enjoy the sentiment. There has been a bit of an outcry regarding Cheryl Cole’s “live” performance on the X Factor…..fortunately I didn’t see it….it was alleged she was miming…but they deny it…COURSE SHE WAS MIMING…SHE CAN’T SING!!!....it’s as if it’s a big surprise….The X Factor proves you can kid most of the people most of the time… It’s Children In Need time again….I find all this stuff somewhat annoying year after year….Heavens above I hate the thought of ANY kiddie injured or starving….I help run a children’s charity myself every week…but when I hear the talentless Terry Wogan bleating on about how £2 can save a life etc…….why not have a collection from Jonathan Ross,Wogan,Beckham,all the politicians in their mansions,all the footballers…and those in charge of the forthcoming rail link…etc….PROBLEM SOLVED !!....the likes of these could solve the problem and not even miss the money. I was on about “nobility” last week….I think a lot of this “we’re above it all” attitude is on it’s way out…..I’ve always disliked the Golf Club mentality where everyone grovels around the captain…and sailing clubs with the”Commodore” etc….my band was a function band so I saw this sort of snoberry at close range from masonics to every kind of society….I naturally went along with it because I was getting PAID but I always found it hard to believe that some,not all,of these types really think they are above everyone else….however as the generations change these organisations are struggling to survive….local golf clubs here are offering a weeks golf for 15 quid….looks like modern youngsters wont put up with pomposity….good for them. .At the moment I seem to be in demand….I have been approached by an American film company who are making a documentary on North Wales and want to use my Llanfair P.G. song…no problems there as long as I appear in the credits….I was also approached by a record company who want to put out the songs I wrote for wrestler Adrian Street in the 80’s…they want to put an album out on coloured vinyl….I’ve sent them copies of the masters (after brushing off the cobwebs)…so that’s as far as I want to be involved….so seeing as I have all the songs (22 of them) I have decided to bring out a CD album myself….I’ve been in touch with Adrian and he’s sent me a load of hilarious photos which I will use on a promo video for YouTube…he told me that a drama company want to do a musical of his life story….is the world ready for this?
