I played at St Mary's Stadium last night - the first time I've ever been to it. I was playing the guitar I hasten to add and this was a grand function and nothing to do with football. Barry Cryer was there. He came up to me at the end and said how much he had enjoyed listening to me play. In today's
Guardian Simon Hoggart, reporting on the annual Oldie of the Year lunch in his
Simon Hoggart's Week column says the same thing - 'Barry Cryer was there...' and then goes on to say that Barry is hard of hearing. Hmm. On balance I am still pleased.
This is the Ted Bates statue outside.
