It does Les. Mike and Sue are singing both their own song and mine.
Great feeling getting to the final 10.
Best wishes.

The standard is very high Leadfingers! A few new names in this year, but a few old favourites are missing. It should be a great night at Spilsby Theatre on 14th October - must go and learn the songs!

The final ten were announced on the radio so unfortunately I only listened for the ones I knew. When and if the list is published I am sure someone will post it on here.
Best wishes.

Wish some non-performing writer would ask me to perform their song for them. I'm starting to wonder what's wrong with me! :0)

Seeing as I am going to Spilsby I wondered if anybody from round there knew of a mate of mine who was at college with me.40 years back. His name was Ade Simpson and I think his parents hada small holding somewhere round there. He married a nurse, had ason called Tristan and worked as aganger amongst other things. No luck with friends reunited.
