Nice as it was to see Bellowhead on the breakfast show, the interview was the predictable buttock-clenching cringiness.

"What's that?" "It's a sousaphone". "A sousaphone? Gosh, isn't it big".

And

"a melodeon, or it's also called a diatonic accordion."

"Diatonic? Is that like gin and tonic?

Never let the facts get in the way of axe-grinding. Inspired by those quotes I just went and watched the clip on YouTube. Nobody said "Gosh, isn't it big?". And It was John Spiers who made the joke about "gin and tonic", not the presenter.

OK, it was early in the morning, but get a grip . . .


Looking forward to seeing Benji on the show tonight too!!

Let's hope you're a Jim Moray fan then, if you watched the bit of tonight's show played this morning. No Benji . . .

I knew. Lack of continuity I'd say!

Bit hard to judge that show Steve - 49 seconds of song and some awkward (in the sense of not knowing what they were talking about) questions.

Sorry, Dave, spotted the right thread too late. I've read the whole of the other thread now and curiously I find myself lining up with FOLKPUNKROCKER. Sorry!
