Silent Nights....
I've just listened to tonight's musical montage which is a multiple Silent Night mash-up (truly!) which has been put together by Gavin, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio's Scotland's resident Dr Disc. There are 15 different artists featured so why not tune in tonight and see how many you can spot *. I'll give out the answers later in the show, but do post on here and let me know how many you get.
The choir are sound checking right now and sounding great. It should be a really nice show. If you haven't suggested a favourite carol then now's your chance...
* The answers were as follows:
1 Aaron Neville
2 Glasvegas
3 Christina Aguilera
4 Stevie Nicks
5 Barbra Streisand
6 Ladysmith Black Mambazo
7 Dr John
8 Air Supply
9 Osmonds
10 Johnny Cash
11 Bros.
12 Annie Lennox
13 The Primitives
14 Shakin' Stevens
15 Booker T & The MGs

The first panto I ever saw was A Wish for Jamie, with Kenneth Mackellar as Jamie and Rikki Fulton as dame. It was a huge thing for us going up to Glasgow for the day, having lunch in Wendy's (I asked for mushrooms on toast - bizarre - and such a heap of mushrooms arrived that I couldn't eat them for years after), then the panto itself, with, in one scene, a moving train dining carriage and of course loads of spilled dinners and hilarity.
