I went to the Floral Pavilion new Brighton last week to see \u201cLet\u2019s Hang On\u201d which was a tribute to the music of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons\u2026.it was sensational\u2026the quality of the musicians and singers was outstanding.It was a full house and the whole place was on it\u2019s feet at the end\u2026brilliant.\nI love the Four Seasons stuff and last year went to see \u201cJersey Nights\u201d on the Liverpool Empire which was also brilliant\u2026.the main show \u201cJersey Boys \u201c has been on in London for a few years but I\u2019ve heard that will soon be touring\u2026that will be on my agenda.\nFor me the music has to be authentic and this was.\n \nWe have our song for Eurovision\u2026.it sort of came out of nowhere\u2026no judging no pack drill\u2026never heard of the girl singing it but good luck to her.\nThe song is called \u201cChildren of The Universe\u201d and is like a million others\u2026.the girl singing it also wrote it so let\u2019s hope it gets more than the usual nil pwa\u2026.I must say I quite enjoy watching the spectacle but why on earth WE get involved is a mystery to me\u2026.I\u2019m still recovering from Englebert two years ago.\n \nThe Scots are building up to the vote for independence\u2026.I must admit I completely failed to see the point until I heard the word \u201cOIL\u201d\u2026.what a load of absolute nonsense to have a separate country on an island as small as ours\u2026.if it comes off,which I doubt it will,I think they will be making a big mistake\u2026but there you go \u2026that\u2019s politics and greed.\n \nA ship which sank off Africa in the 1800s and which was built at Camell Lairds has been commemorated this week on the front at Woodside\u2026.the ship was called \u201cThe Birkenhead\u201d and went down with the loss of 140 lives (?)\u2026however ALL the women and children were saved because of the \u201cwomen and children first\u201d situation\u2026this became known as \u201cThe Birkenhead Drill\u201d\u2026and still is to this day.\n \nThere were a couple of female footballers on the local news moaning about sexism in football\u2026.oh dear\u2026I quite enjoy watching women\u2019s footy but let\u2019s hope they don\u2019t start whining about the slightest thing\u2026like the blokes do\u2026300 grand a week and sobbing because someone called them names\u2026come on girls\u2026man up !!\nAnd lastly\u2026this made me smile\u2026some teacher has been reprimanded for taping kids mouths shut when they were making too much noise\u2026.it was obviously a bit of fun but the press are straight on to it\u2026child cruelty the lot!!...and of course one of the fathers has come out of the woodwork alleging his child\u2019s mouth BLED when the tape was removed\u2026yeah sure\u2026.possible claim in the offing eh?
