Right - so we have two different titles given - T is for Thomas, and J stands for John.... could have sworn the title was "T _stands_ for Thomas" as in "T stands for Thomas I suppose" in the first line of the chorus (as they sing it).

Whatever the case , I thought it was a great rendition of the song, and a nice interview (wherein Jenni Murray revealed her lack of preparation, or lack of proper research from programme hands by accusing Eliza of appearing at the RAH for the first time ... tee hee!).

Oh, and Dave - totally agree with the comment re Mr Jordan's aims for a radio station (as per the BBC board) Sadly, it seems that his benign dictatorship is now at an end, as the station plans were taken over by the ravening Country and Western hordes who exercised a bloodless coup. (If this is confusing anyone - have a look at the thread on the Folk and Acoustic BBC board titled "Bloody BBC")

Finally, am I alone in finding the awed references earlier in the thread to the act of "singing unaccompanied" unusual?? Or is it just that that's what I'm more used to hearing and doing ? There's no question that Norma and Eliza are great exponents of the art, but it's not exactly an unheard of live occurrence. (Apologies - think I must be in picky mood this morning - packing bags and heading out of the door to go and do some research right now [grins]))
