For Whom The Bell Rolls

Thursday night was a music quiz in aid of Action For Children. I was sharing a table with my comely wife plus Joe Lindsay and Donna Legge from the BBC. We played a stormer and were rather stupefied when our team, 'George Formby And The Destroyers, only came third.

Still, refreshing drinks were taken, jokes were plentiful and the live music was themed around Thin Lizzy. Philomena Lynott, mother of Phil, was there, and looking regal as ever. The guys from Tizz Lizzy were rocking while Eric Bell, the original Lizzy guitarist and the guy who gave the band their name, was also on stage. For the first time ever, a series of people came over with the line "I've read your book". Hilarious, but oddly pleasant.
