OK Steve, I'll try to make it.

That must have been a different year Noreen. I remember hundreds (well it seemed like hundreds) of choirs singing very over produced versions of corny shoolkid songs. They went on and on, one after the other, all identical. And then the panel of judges picked the best ones.

One of the feew really good performances was a couple of guys playing the Northumbrian pipes. But they didn't win "Because they didn't sound like Scottish pipes"
