Tootle and Parp we did
Well a relatively calm day today thank heavens. Yesterday started on Radio 1, thence to 5 Live, Drivetime on 2 and finally to the Royal Albert Hall for Radio 3's concert for Comic Relief. This was another fund raiser of course and featured a record-breaking attempt to assemble the largest kazoo 'orchestra'. This comprised everyone in the RAH (as we all call it) and the motleyist group of celebrities ever brought together to blow their own trumpets. We milled, chatted and ignored all instructions we were given. We were far too busy comparing kazoos and witty showbiz anecdotes. I can vouch for the musical 'skills' of Miranda Hart, Gabby Logan, David Baddiel and Stephen Mangan. We tootled and parped to the Dambusters March and Ride of the Valkyries, spraying the BBC Concert Orchestra with much celebrity spittle. Oh how they all laughed. The highlight was Sue Perkins conducting Nimrod from Elgar's Enigma Variations. She was brilliant - it really was quite moving watching her. Hopefully she was able to ignore us all chatting away in the choir stalls. Just like naughty 5th years. It's on Radio 3 this Friday at 7pm. I'm the 3rd kazoo from the right, front row.
So today good bloggers, we offer you Pick of the Pops host Tony Blackburn at 6pm. What a treat this has now become. Tony has brought his verve and unique style to this grand old dame of a show and it has become essential listening for a Saturday lunchtime. Tony has done standup for a BBC Radio project, again for Comic Relief, and will tell all tonight.
And tunes today please for the start of the CHELTENHAM Festival (yes it's horses Rebecca). A huge party that lasts till Friday, loosely themed around HORSES, DRINK and the IRISH. But mainly HORSES. Over to you.
Have a mellow and stress-free Tuesday, see you after 5.

My earliest memories of radio are of a steaming winter kitchen in the early/mid-1960s (re. yesterdays blog....with woodchip on the walls, obviously), with Mrs Dales's Diary and the Archers on all day every day (or so it seemed), with cabbage seemingly constantly on the boil, my dad at the sink, and all the time in the world to go out and play. Nothing else - read a book maybe, do some drawing, swimming on a Tuesday night and Smiths crisps afterwards, with a twist of blue paper holding the salt, and really nothing else to do but play out. And radio right at the centre of that. Leap on nearly half a century, and I still listen to twice as much radio as I watch TV, and enjoy it ten times as much. And still prefer Smiths crisps. But I don't get to play out as much as I'd like....

#89 - I'll second your vote for Richard Allinson but I also enjoy Mark Radcliffe and / or Stuart Maconie and I'm not averse to Liza Tarbuck.

Just to add to the Rebecca 'chat' ...
When we were at CIN back in November, I asked Rebecca if she ever read the blog, her reply was 'Yes, I DO read the blog. She was most enthusiastic in her answer.
Must dash, the first bindweed of the year has reared its ugly head. FIGHT!!

Harry - Christy Moore could sing Mein Kampf and I'd still adore his voice.
LOVE that song

My choice of supply teacher would be Richard Allinson. Not keen on Richard Madeley - far too much business about himself and his missus, and not so keen on Lisa Tarbuck, though she has grown on me on recent stints. She's be my second choice. But as a left field suggestion also, who stood in for Steve Wright a year or so ago and was excellent I thought - Rob Brydon.
As for where Simon could holiday next... County Mayo?
