13.39  Grey. Greyness! Coldness! Along the High Road…  … to breakfast with the Weekend FT I…  II...  … followed by bibliophiliacal stirrings in the adjacent premises. A gentle walk back and a call to Polly Legg. 14.46 Cars gassed, or petrolised in Anglicised equivalent, for a speedy departure this evening. Now e-flurrying.  16.10 Off to Ealing Studios at 16.30 to cheer loudly for the Minx & The Eighties Supergroup. 23.46 Bredonborough. Leaving MinxWorld & into the on-time car, Ealing Studios & the Green Room provided for family & friends. Entering the studio c. 18.05. I was put on a bar stool in the Friends & Supporters section adjacent to the stage. Requests for no photos & no celling were ignored widescale. A very good warm-up comic, going live at 18.40. Six dance acts, The Eighties Supergroup on last.  A very funny cod bio of the group’s formation I…  II...  III...  IV...  … preceded much snapping of the whipcords to Greased Lightning from Grease I…  II...  III...  IV...  The Supergroup were brought in front of the panel of judging comics I…  II...  III...  … before submitting to the public telephone vote (which raises lotsa money for Comic Relief) I…  II...  Adrian Edmonson’s Dying Swan & The Eighties Supergroup won! The popular vote went to Adrian Edmonson’s stunning Dying Swan, with a cameo appearance from Rik Mayall (who, pretending to hit Ade with a large saucepan, actually connected on the first swipe). The judges had to select between two other acts & went for The Supergroup on the final judge’s nail-biting vote: 2 to 1. So T & the Team will be returning to dance next Saturday. In our family, Toyah is very good at holding the front. Her husband is very good at holding the back I…  II...  III...  … and in this case wearing a badge with Toyah’s Husband on it. Leaving Ealing to Minx Towers & back to Bredonborough, arriving 23.20. WillyFred is very willing to be adored, so now to gentling at the end of a hard week for T, but also exciting & fulfilling, with a good cause well supported. Search Robert Fripp's diary archive. |
