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

If the songs are half as good as they are for the Maidehead Song Comp

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.
