Morecambe and Wise

....singing, dancing comedy, acting. Perfect!

I,m afraid this is easy for me but very boring for all of you I,d have a rock concert in my garden Avenged Sevenfold , Greenday, Reo Speedwagon Linkin Park etc etc and my son would be the top of the bill and he would just play lead guitar with whichever group he wanted...... And I,d be singing on my sticks proudly at the side loving the music....

Can we have the late, great Morecambe and Wise to make us laugh?

I think we should have a set by VG's lad as well - a future star to go with those from the past!

My very artistic son will paint the scenery, and we've probably got enough sausage rolls left from yesterday!

oh yes great idea , we live just the other side of the fence where people have complained that the play equipement has been painted too brightly ! , really ? primary colours too bright , so it has been unopened for over a year , never mind national press onto it now so it will be sorted ,

Oooh, who would I pick - private concert. Would have to last all weekend. I'd pick either Morrissey or George Michael to top the bill, bit of Willie Nelson, Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt,. Perhaps reform Simply Red for a few songs, possibly Roxy Music, and would definitely have to have Muse along. Soon as I have posted this I'll think of many more - can I have a circa 1976 Neil Diamond too?

If you like Joan Baez, you'll like these photos (copy the link above into your brouser) taken by my Father-in_law Charles. He photographed her at the 1970 IOW festival, and then again 40 years on at Sheffield City Hall! In fact we also arranged it for him to do the same with 3 other artists, Melanie (Brand New Key), Terry Reid (superlungs) and Andy Roberts (Touring with Hank Wangford), all 40 years on. We are setting up a website with all his archive on, and have started with the 1970 festival. If you like jimi Hendrix and the Who, they are on there too.

Thanks for the link. Nice photo's, saw Joan last year, she was still as good as ever, though her shows start and end a lot earlier nowadays

I'd have Foo Fighters for my rock chick nature and I'd have Eric Clapton for my blues side and I'd have Muse for all their local fans down here in Devon. Snow Patrol and Fleetwood Mac if any of them couldn't make it.

I've seen them all except for Muse and Snow Patrol, but I hope to put that right this year or next :-D :-D

I'd also have Monty Don along to make suggestions for our garden which is to be terraced this year :-) did anybody watch his French garden series this year (and his Italian last year)?

Coming a little more up to date.....

I would like the team from Strictly Come Dancing, especially the little Italian one, a younger Bruce Forsythe and Cliff Richard. Jamie Oliver can cook for us all.

Would have Gary Numan, Muse, and most definately Peter Gabriel for the music. Then Milton Jones, Sarah Millican and Rhod Gilbert for the comedy. Celebs would have to be Keith Lemon, Sam Neill Jeff Goldblum and Holly Willabooby (to keep hubby happy).

Catering by the scrummy yummy Raymond Blanc.
