'Raindrops keep falling on my head"
No-one knew all the words though, it quickly deterioratd into "doo-doo-do-do-d-d-d-d..."
Mr. Garvey wasn't impressed.

At Leeds Met earlier this year.
We had to do about 20 verses before they came back because apparently Guy was "enjoying listening to that"

Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic
Never really got going at Delamere, although there were a few who gave it a good attempt.

Guy didn't ask for a song last week at the Apollo

Lol, the mistake you made was convinving Guy that you were H.A.P.P.Y with the fact that they had gone off stage Razz

Oh I do Like To Be Beside The Seaside.....Rather appropriate for Portsmouth, which is why it was chosen. It too was recorded.

In the spring it was 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling' at Oxford.

At Liverpool we had Hey Jude (general consensus it had to be a Beatles song) - great fun and promtped various comments about how appropriate it was following on from the close of ODLT...

Kung Fu fighting. It was good; especially with Guy's moves and 'hurgh's' on stage

I suggested Tainted Love, and I was gutted that it wasn't picked - the general concensus wanted it - but no.

Ce la Vie - Wolverhampton was a top gig anywhoo.

We didn't get to do one in Belfast on Sunday. My wife was well miffed. She likes a good singalong.

It was the theme from The Littlest Hobo at Leeds a few weeks ago. It took a while to get going but we just about pulled it off.

This was totally brilliant. Everyone was singing along and it didn't lose momentum. Very Happy

We did the same!

You know what would be strange... if the audience, well let's say isn't very pleased by the concert, and walks out after the concert and before the encore!!! affraid How strange would that be!

That's a nice to tradition, to make the crowd sing a song before an encore. Didn't happen here in Holland. Somebody in Haarlem asked them to play 'Summer of 69', more as a joke I think, and Guy said that was one of the songs he hated most, along with 'Hotel California'.
