Mark, Chris did mention the Harry Boardman work, and we discussed you two coming on to the porgramme in the New Year, so I'm looking forward to that.

Les, I know what you're saying about all the other influences in the GMR area - I just chose to have a kind of a themed night on Monday, celebrating the Lancashire heritage. I'm still looking for music from the Ukrainian culture. Re Irish music - I try not to have too much of that as I'm mindful that the Parlour is just before my show, and I don't want to overdo things.

It's not easy getting (and maintaining) a balance.
