Ewan MacColl and Andrew Lloyd Webber!! Now, a meeting between these two would have been interesting. Their views and attitudes to life were....how shall we say.... somewhat different. I would have liked to have been able to interview them both at the same time:- VS - I would like to welcome to the studio tonight two great songwriters, Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Ewan MacColl. I'll start with you Lord Lloyd-Webber.... I believe that since your enoblement you have hardly ever attended the House of Lords. Is that the case? ALW -Yes, that is true. VS -And yet it was reported that you recently broke your near-silence in the House of Lords when you flew back to London from New York specifically to vote for tax credit cuts for Britain's poorest people. ALW -Yes, that is also true. VS -Mr. MacColl. Would you like to make any comment on his Lordship's actions in this matter? Interviewer dives for cover.
