He was excellent at the Moor and Coast Festival.

You should have a really nice night.

As you say Breezy - advanced booking advisable.

He is an ugly, talentless bastard with a boring presence on stage and no charisma at all - NOT.

One of the great songwriters of our time. My request is "Tuesdays is always karaoke".

Well he did that one at Moor and Coast George. I think he said that he wouldn't do it down at S't Albans :-)

I am glad he practiced at the M&C for Snorbans...

As a non-attender of festivals, I shall have to see what is so great about this upstart Clarke chappie that he can supplant an acknowledged phenomenon such as myself!

I suppose if El Greko rates him he can't be all that bad, but if he turns up playing a solid-bodied electric and has body piercings I reserve the right to heckle.

I'm rescheduled to 17th July, though Breezy didn't say which year, so it could be 2011!

I have emailed my fan to advise her that I won't be doing Spotters on the 12th, and she was unkind enough to say that she'd rather see this AJC fellow, anyway. Humiliation comes easy these days!

Age discrimination becomes illegal from January 2006, so I live in hope.

There you go George, get practicing!!!! :-)

The wind blew so cold against the west coast of Ireland
That Rita would not go into the water
Picture the scene, mothers fathers ice-creams
Huddled round their little sons and daughters
The rain it cut right thru me , it kept on pouring down
I found myself a hotel bar on the harbour side of town
I said I'd play for nothing since the tourist was in town
But Tuesday night is always Karaoke

Oasis all the rage, young Dan from Cork he climbed on stage
He could hardly hold the mic for all that brandy
He intro'd far too late and poor old Sally had to wait and
Rita hollered that some words would come in handy
Fathers pushing mothers up against the microphone
Sisters goading brothers, "Won't you leave the lad alone"
And a priest from Knockaraha shook his head and headed home
Cos Tuesday night is always Karaoke

Jim sang Carrickfergus, with his eyes shut, lots of verses
And John well he passed out at the next table
Smokie Mud and Sweet with Guinness good enough to eat
Jim tried to sing in tune but was not able
People stood on chairs and tables rocking to them all
Knocking over nuns and children, laughing as they'd fall
And Sister Mary Joseph, she's the biggest drunk of all
Those singing nuns just love their Karaoke

Hectic and electric Kev said no cos he's dyslexic
A wee Sligo Susanne Vega sang Marlene
A coach load up from Galway clapped their tour guide singing My Way
We all did that silly dance in Macarena
Then the priest appeared from nowhere with those "Fields of Athenry"
And a Welshman murdered Vincent and American Pie
A fight broke out when someone said his levee must be dry
But no one really cares it's Karaoke

There were fiddlers from Rostrevor who drank so much they stayed for ever
And Sister Mary Joseph she just stood there screaming
She lifted up her skirt she grabbed the nearest priest she began to flirt
And the tour guide said hey Anthony John, "Am I dreaming?"
Then the police arrived in wagons like some extras from the Sting
They called for reinforcements and as all their mobile phones did ring
They shouted at her, "Hey sister Mary Joseph, do you know what time it is?"
She "No but you humm it and I'll sing"
Cos Tuesday Night is always Karaoke

There's only Karaoke up on Enniscrone
The whistles and the fiddles and the bodhrans stay at home
I never heard a single mandolin or an accordian drone
Cos Tuesday night is always Karaoke


Must go, got to pick Mr and Mrs Sooze up for the Tom Napper and Tom Bliss birthday party for Mrs Sooze.:-)
