Ewan MacColl and Andrew Lloyd Webber!!

Now, a meeting between these two would have been interesting. Their views and attitudes to life were....how shall we say.... somewhat different.

I would have liked to have been able to interview them both at the same time:-
VS - I would like to welcome to the studio tonight two great songwriters, Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Ewan MacColl.
I'll start with you Lord Lloyd-Webber.... I believe that since your enoblement you have hardly ever attended the House of Lords. Is that the case?
ALW -Yes, that is true.
VS -And yet it was reported that you recently broke your near-silence in the House of Lords when you flew back to London from New York specifically to vote for tax credit cuts for Britain's poorest people.
ALW -Yes, that is also true.
VS -Mr. MacColl. Would you like to make any comment on his Lordship's actions in this matter?
Interviewer dives for cover.
