Christmas is not all it’s cracked up to be
Families fighting around a plastic tree
Nothing on the TV that you’d want to see
And it’s hardly ever snowing
The way it’s meant to be
Like in White Christmas year after year
Bing Crosby, Bing Crosby,
Are you listening to me?
It doesn’t often snow at Christmas
the way it’s meant to do
But I’ll still have a glow at Christmas
because I’ll be with you
The Christmas message was long ago lost
Now it’s all about shopping and how much things cost
It’s meant to be goodwill as well as synthetic fun
and what is this year’s festive number one
…

We are very sad to hear that Alan Yentob has died. Alan was a legend in British TV, responsible for some of the BBC’s finest programmes including the documentary series, “Arena” and “Imagine”. We were lucky enough to be the subject of one of his “Imagine” documentaries broadcast last year. He was a stimulating person to spend time with and a great supporter of all artistic endeavours. We send our sincere condolences to his wife, children, friends and colleagues. Neil and Chris x
We visited the John Rylands Library in Manchester yesterday and saw the fascinating “Secret Public” exhibition which examines “the profound influence of LGBTQ performers, artists and activists on mainstream pop culture” and includes Neil’s original manuscripts of the lyrics for “West End girls” and “It’s a sin”. Highly recommended. Full details at the link below.
