Pig Dyke Molly

We are of to see them at Westwood Cross today (11am), other wise known as the black and white people (in our house).  We enjoyed their performances so much last time they were at Broadstairs Folk Week. http://www.pigdyke.co.uk/

Friday night in Broadstairs was busy, the roads were closed and we were excited, anticipating a fire-light procession.  We were 24 hours too early!  I wonder if al those others milling about were also people who had not studied the programme?

PS.  This time I had studied the programme but PDM were not on! I was the only one there dressed up in just black and white, right down to my underwear.

Let’s hope we get it right on Wednesday afternoon when we go to the show sponcered by Tara Plumbing!

UK entry to Eurovision, Scootch

Big argument in our house. Mr Tara Plumbing says it is a political issue. I say it was just a poor entry: surely it can not be a surprised that the UK got so few scores in Eurovision with such a corny little number.

I can imagine nations around the world watching scootch in open mouthed amazement “What is that? That is Soooo bad,” they’d be saying, in their native tongues. “Is it a joke?”

In our house, however, Mr T.P. grabs for his glittering-spangle hot pants and bounces around with aeroplane- wing-arms wide apart several times a day singing along to this UK tune.

“It won’t win,” I say. I prefered the crotching grabbing moves which accompanied the Hip Hop entry - Big Brovas, I think they were called.  This music is more international, I would have thought.

“It’s the best entry in years,” he replies.

Gina G was good (1990’s) -  remember she came second. I rest my case.
