And for all those who came to see Mr Garbutt, we just need to fit in another eight people singing about being a Norfolk reed cutter.

The Highwayman? All 43 verses? Yes, an excellent choice, particularly since you've never sang in public before.

"Thanks - that was the third best performance of that song we've heard tonight."

(Doesn't really count, as we actually heard this last night in Sale. Not only that, but a couple of acts later, somebody else did the same song* - although this time Don didn't tell them their overall ranking.)

This is a very tradiotional old song. It is very boring and very long, but by God, it is traditional.

I'd love to hear your latest song about how bad it is in the mines, but unlike you, I am not a social worker, and I have to go now because I am on early days and have to be at shaft side by 5.30am.

Oh, hang on... I have heard it after all. It was me! (circa. 1979)

Back in '75, I was at working man's club in a mining village, so virtually everyone there was a miner. I and my friends were asked to sing, and one of them genuinely thought 'Trimdon Grange' and 'The Springfield Mining disaster' might be good choices.

Yes Genie, the Metallica.

Oh, and I've heard (from my late wife) of the pissing one too, except the dog was Eric Burdon, and it was the table leg he didn't piss on and Donovan's leg he did... at a party in south London

Oh, yes, and I've heard the farting one too, it was at Broadstairs in Neptune's Hall and it was the bloke they used to call "the Silly Solicitor" (not me) but they weren't real farts, they were farting noises made with the mouth.
