Yes Constant Reader... that WAS me you saw with his arms folded on the BBC London News on Sunday.
Err... if you were in London. And if you were indeed watching the BBC.

It was on a small segment about the annual celebration of Kirsty MacColl, always held on the Sunday nearest to her birthday first at the bench the fans had dedicated to her in Soho Square and then at a local pub.

I was aware of a man skulking around worryingly at ankle-height with a camera around and about the bench and hey poncho, there I was on the footage, standing next to our Eunice. And there was I not wanting to go this year. I had signed off the e-mail group a few months back and what with the no shows of Chuffy, Rose and Kris I thought I might give it the go-by but I stayed about 2 and a half hours which flew by in the company of Johnny M from San Francisco, said Eunice and Irish David with their attendant other arfs.

Not sure how much longer the get-togethers will last in their current form. It is only natural that the ongoing Justice For Kirsty campaign should be represented on the day but the whole idea of the get-togethers was to celebrate her life and art and on the contrary they have been overshadowed more and more by the campaign. Claire who is now organizing the event seems to have noticed this too and stressed how the day should reflect her more and indeed at the pub it was good to have Kirsty's cds playing. Her voice has been missed in the all the get-togethers in the past.

So as today is the actual day - happy birthday where ever you are Kirsty.

Um. It's also mine and O's 4th anniversary. Happy Anniversary O!
