Still no beard
Good morning to all bloggers far and wide, the estate cold and neglected this morning. Too many things to do and no time etc. Long day yesterday at the Lowry Centre in Salford for the Folk Awards and I hope you enjoyed some of the tunes we had for you. Starting with the Dubliners was a fine moment- an awesome parade of facial hair! And 50 years of tunes is some record. I thought Ralph McTell's speech while presenting them with their award was a lovely moment.
But the highlight of yesterday's show was Don McClean. He's played on the show before of course but I thought yesterday when he played "Everyday" and "Castles In The Air" was one of those 'I should work for nothing' moments (not really Bob in case you're reading this). And still a fabulous guitarist too. And getting an extra half hour was a treat too. One other highlight to mention- Jackie Oates. I wish I'd taken a photo of her singing and playing 2 instruments at the same time, with her eyes shut. She was our last guest but, as it turned out, top of the bill. Congratulations to all the winners last night, there'll be a few sore heads in Salford hotels this morning.
So today Nigel cooks something like braized slow simmered rack of lamb in drizzled gravy jus and pickled cabbage. Or something like that. And oldies? It has to be FABIO/HARRY tunes please at your discretion. What an extraordinary story!
Have a clear-headed and smile-filled Thursday. See you after 5.

I enjoyed the Folk Awards last night and a shame Simon couldn't stay with our Sal, who I saw sitting in the audience after she had done her bit. Like Simon, I liked Ralph McTell's presentation speech that came from his heart and I was so pleased for June Tabor. I loved Christy Norre and Declan Sinnott's Morecambe Bay song too!

Finally have slotted some time into my day to get on t' blog...twittering is not the same - but at least it's a way for folks short of time to get a tune suggested...
I twittered HARRY's GAME by Clanaad, which was a theme song for the 3 parter of the same name - we just watched it on watch again thingy, very interesting having all those years between then and now - the IRA conflict seems like another lifetime away.
Also twittered CHANGING MAN Paul Weller
and
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES by Dinah Washington
Also thought these might suit:
WAITING GAME or BACK ON TOP by Van the Man
NOW I'M HERE or LAP OF THE GODS by Queen
Hope you're all well - will try and read back to have a catchup.

What's happened to the blog? It dawdles along for days and then explodes with activity.
Folk Awards were fantiastic. Only one quibble: Simon obviously got the real Don McLean on his show, beautiful voice, but who was that bloke impersonating him at the Awards?
I thought Stuart Maconie's speech was wonderful; the man just goes up and up in my estimation of him.
And, June Tabor! Surely she has been touched by Angels. I think a Silly Sisters album will be listened to this morning.
Nothing to add for the theme but one comment about Mr Redknapp: why on earth would he give up managing Tottenham to manage England? He's created a team, who were in the relegation zone when he was appointed, and taken them to the very brink of winning the Premiership? Managing England will always end in failure, and ignominy, no matter who does it.

Interesting to read both sides' comments on the Harry/Modric affair. The general consensus seems to be it should never have gone to trial, however I'm also seeing quite a bit of backlash rearding money in overseas accounts and "I never knew it was there guvn'r" not being an acceptable defence .....

Late to the party this morning, and still in my pyjamas! The postman has already had the pleasure (of seeing me in my pyjamas, that is!) because the mister kindly let me stay in bed this morning, whilst he got twin one ready for school etc But he's gone out now, and the postie knocked with a few parcels, so I had no choice but to dash downstairs with my bedhair and in my nightwear :O
Oldie suggestions...

DON'T GO - YAZOO (what Simon is saying to Mr Rednapp!)

£8m to win £100k? That's akin to taking odds of 80/1 on about a case that sounded like the victory chance was much worse than evens given that they could hardly manage to provide a motive. And that's before you take into account the additional cost to us of his vacation at Her Majesty's pleasure if that had been the outcome.
I'd like to play poker with the morons that made that decision - they're clearly totally clueless about value. And these are the same people that wrote off £10m from one of the banks without a second thought! Cameron should have someone in front of him today falling on their sword about all of this.

It has to be "Hello, Goodbye" - so I'm with all those noble people who have already nominated said esteemed Beatles tune.
