On a non musical note, I see that Mr Humphreys’s favourite manager is retiring after 27 incredibly successful years.
It just makes you wonder how Bob Paisley, who won 6 league titles, 3 European cups and a total of 17 trophies in just 9 years as Liverpool manager, was never Knighted!
I am writing this on our day off after the Roundhouse gig which was a great success.
Nice to catch up with a few friends afterwards including the fabulous Anna Ord from The Genie Queen who is now working for OK Showbiz online. (Tweet her @Anna_Ord)
We did a German TV show interview today for ZDF Aspekte to air next Friday and we do Wogan Live on BBC Radio 2 tomorrow. No peace for the wicked.
