Private Eye Sings, recorded October 1962 in Llandudno:

It is, to the best of my knowledge, Private Eye magazine's first ever excursion into recorded sound, although be warned... satire from 1962 can seem rather dated in places.

Tracklisting:

Side One
1. Overture - A Letter From Sir Herbert Gussett
2. Lift Up Your Parts
3. The Common Market - A Great Nation Speaks

Side Two
1. Dramatic Readings From "The Times" - The National Theatre
2. A Word From Mervyn Poove
3. The True Story Of James Gaithen (Written By Christopher Logue)

Benny Hill RIP

You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground,
And the clatter of the wheels as they spun 'round and 'round.
And he galloped into market street, his badge upon his chest,
His name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

Now Ernie loved a widow, a lady known as Sue,
She lived all alone in Liddley Lane at number 22.
They said she was too good for him, she was haughty, proud and chic,
But Ernie got his cocoa there three times every week.

They called him Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart,"
And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up his cart.
He said, "D'you want it pasturize? 'Cause pasturize is best,"
She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest."

That tickled old Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

Now Ernie had a rival, an evil-looking man,
Called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington and he drove the baker's van.
He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread,
And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head.

She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said, "If you treat me right,
You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night."
He knew once she sampled his layer cake he'd have his wicked way,
And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day.

Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

One lunch time Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door,
It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four.
And as he lept down from his van hot blood through his veins did course,
And he went across to Ernie's cart and didn't half kick his 'orse.

Whose name was Trigger, (Triggerrrrrrrr)
And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west.

Now Ernie rushed out into the street, his gold top in his hand,
He said, "If you wanna marry Susie you'll fight for her like a man."
"Oh why don't we play cards for her?" he sneeringly replied,
"And just to make it interesting we'll have a shilling on the side."

Now Ernie dragged him from his van and beneath the blazing sun,
They stood there face to face, and Ted went for his bun.
But Ernie was too quick, things didn't go the way Ted planned,
And a strawberry-flavoured yogurt sent it spinning from his hand.

Now Susie ran between them and tried to keep them apart,
And Ernie, he pushed her aside and a rock cake caught him underneath his heart.
And he looked up in pained surprise and the concrete hardened crust,
Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust.

Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

Ernie was only 52, he didn't wanna die,
And now he's gone to make deliveries in that milk round in the sky.
Where the customers are angels and ferocious dogs are banned,
And the milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy, dairy land.

But a woman's needs are many fold and soon she married Ted,
But strange things happened on their wedding night as they lay in their bed.
Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate?
Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate?

They won't forget Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeee)
And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

Wherever You Are (Military Wives with Gareth Malone) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hR6O7VxKaQ#ws)

When you think what these women are doing to support the British Legion and for their husbands it is marvellous.
The words were supplied by the women and the music was written by Paul Maelor from Anglesey.
The single is just over £2.50 free P&P from Amazon.
Can we make it the Christmas no 1?

I very much hope the record achieves high sales too.

I have watched previous series where Gareth Malone has taken an unlikely group of people and made them into a choir. He deserves some fitting recognition for his efforts. Amazing what can be achieved through the medium of music.

He is such an unassuming young man, but yet he seems to have perfect control over the people he teaches.
The programme shown last week from near London with the crowd of 'Toughies' including the boxer was amazing.

You are from Llandudno; it’s a quiet sleepy seaside town. Were you screaming to get out?

Yeah, pretty much. It’s touristy and full of families and day-trippers. There’s not much for someone who’s lived there for 24 years to do, if you get me. We was [colloquial conjugation] about 16 when we started this band, and we’ve been relentlessly writing and touring since then. Not because we don’t like Llandudno, just because you reach that age and it’s that kind of town where everyone knows everyone’s business and you can’t have any secrets there. We wanted to get out, but not because we hate it.

Title: Re: Other Music.....New Radio Station
Post by: SteveH on January 14, 2022, 10:00:07 am
A NEW community radio station focusing on a wide array of dance music has been set up in North Wales, and is appealing for more volunteers to get involved.

‘Drift Radio’ has been broadcasting since going live at 11.30pm on New Year’s Eve, with a team of roughly 25 currently working at the station, which is operating as a non-profit organisation.

The station was set up by Lee Openshaw, a commercial DJ in the 1990s who has worked in radio since 2018, ‘Pure Cold’, a music producer and tour manager of American rapper Fatman Scoop, and Kevin Allen, who has a long history in dance and house music and a prominent background in IT.

Lee said the station was set up both to diversify residents’ listening options and for both volunteers and listeners to hopefully feel the mental benefits that he believes music can offer.

Lee, from Colwyn Bay, said: “We’re conscious that there’s quite a broad range of dance music, and there was nothing locally catering for those genres.

A COUPLE of North Wales broadcasters are celebrating today (October 3) after broadcasting regulator Ofcom awarded the operational licence for a small-scale digital radio multiplex (DAB) to their joint company.

This means that Conwy County is soon to receive a selection of new radio services ? from specialist music channels to community services and information-based stations.

?Sound Radio?, which broadcasts to East Conwy and the coastal belt between Conwy and Denbighshire on FM and Bayside Radio, which serves communities in the Bay of Colwyn on the North West Wales DAB multiplex, are working together as ?Sound Bay Community Digital CIC? (Digidol Cymunedol Sain Bae).
