I explained that it wasn't really possible, the team would be in bed/getting up/getting ready/struggling with hangovers etc - but I'd come up with something. What they actually got was my wife and two other friends plus their dog with morris bells on them banging sticks and hopping about while I played melodeon. It sounded totally convincing on the radio, but if only the public had known.....
