Thread Name: Musical mistakes?
Subject: RE: Musical mistakes?
Oh, aye---a couple o' bloomers spring to mind. I once introduced Alec Atterson, the Norwich-Scot performer, as Alec "Attersley". Quick as a flash--"Thank you Mr Bob Rogersley!" I got my nose on a plate from that sparky wee Aberdonian, Janice Clark, one night too, when I commented on her voice, saying that she reminded me a bit of Barbara Dixon. Janice was quite indignant. Two weeks later the talented Barbara hit the number one spot. Next time Janice guested I had a gentle dig about my past remark. The lady gave a wee wry grin; "Oh, aye" she says"I hae mind weel!" And our keyboard player, normally the epitome of rectitude [big words!] can usually be depended upon to go belting into "The Holy Ground" after I have announced to all and sundry that we were about to play "The Leaving of Liverpool".
