I love live music in pubs, it doesn't matter what kind of music it is, there's just something so happy, cosy and intimate about it.

You've never been in the Priory Lancaster, there's nothing cosy or intimate about the music played there, real heavy rock. I like it, but can't here nowt fer a couple of days after. :O

Hi Jo, I connect my computer to the highfi, then pick a song off youtube with lyrics, then its away to go on high volume, My voice ain't that good but its a bit of fun and its great for breathing control.

Luckily I live in a detatched house so I've no neighours to complain. Ha Ha.

Yesterday I had a go at Noel Gallagers High Flying Birds or should I say destroyed it.

Its Rock & Roll Jo but not as you know it.

I am frightened to sing, to the noise I might produce. I used to love singing years ago. Ravages of time.

Me too Annie, the neighbours would probably send the RSPCA round at the sound of a cat being strangled. I even talk out of tune these days, more often than not just a faint croak come out if I have to answer the phone, then spend the next 30 secs trying to clear my throat.

A Was Only Thinking About That Poor Billy Bopper ... Yesterday And How That Is A Great Name Really

Would Of Thought You Would Of Seen Name Like That On Here ... Given All Great And Unusual Screen Names People Use :)

My voice fell out of a multi-storey car park ... and never recovered... At least that's what my brothers used to tell me when I was singing in the bath....

They also said I'd earn a handsome living from singing - at 10.10pm closing time .... sadly that opportunity passed me by with the pubs open all hours ... ho hum

Good article, Jo.
