More Than's ALIVE!

(Just in case you were wondering, the title is intended to be a - rather weak, admittedly - pun on the famous line from Flash Gordon uttered by the inimitable Brian Blessed: Gordon's alive!)

Things are shaping up for our live set at this year's Chorlton Players "hotpot" show. This year it's been badged "Pimp My Hotpot" on account of one of the sketches - a hilarious adult take on The Cat in the Hat written by one of the Players, entitled The Pimp in the Hat. We're rehearsing every Monday and Wednesday, and yesterday our rehearsal was graced by a young lady who has volunteered to play a live flute accompaniment to one of my numbers - More Than Just Your Face. Annie has transcribed the piano intro and the oboe sections for flute and the result, which we heard for the first time last night, sounds totally fab.

Can't wait to sing live with that haunting flute as a backdrop!
