b'The song this week is my tribute to a little village in Anglesey which has the longest railway station sign in the universe....Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.....the song teaches you how to say the word because if you can sing it you can say it.....I have sent it this week because it has just reached 1.4 million hits on youtube.....I wrote it for my pal Paul Damian back in 1982 for his club act not realising the impact it would have in future years....I originally put it out as a 45 single (a copy of which I sent to lady Di when she was princess of Wales....to help her with her Welsh...AND got a reply from the palace)....it then went on to cassette then CD...I also sent a copy to Wills and Kate...and got another reply from the Palace....the song has seen a lot of action over the years.\\n\\nThere has been news coverage of a little chap called Charlie Gard who is on a life support machine which doctors have advised needs switching off...his father took the case to court and lost....the family has raised a million pounds to send him to America for some new treatment which may save his life....even Donald Trump wants to help.....it is a really tragic situation....you would naturally think they should try everything but I suppose the doctors know best?....so sad for the family....let\'s hope it all works out for the better,\\n\\nI\'ve been losing sleep over the news that Tony Hadley has split from Spandau Ballet....how many times is this lot going to break up before to stops being news...who cares?....I was never a fan of the band or indeed most of the 80\'s music....I used to say "the day the music died...January 1st 1980".....I have mellowed a bit since.....the hardest part of playing in a band is actually staying together...my band lasted from 1962 until 2015....with several changes of personnel along the way however...it\'s a long road with all sorts of unnatural pressures which these talent contestants are sadly not aware of......but I must add that our band never fell out as such and we always remained friends.\\n\\nThere is to be another series of The Windsors which takes the mick out of our royalty....I watched the first series and it took me a while to get into it....we have Charles and Camilla,Kate and Wills, and Harry whose new girlfriend is to be included....it is so bad it\'s funny....they had some of the actors on being interviewed and they pointed out that the show didn\'t go down to well in America...which made me laugh...the Yanks do not get mickey taking and sarcasm....when I was over in the States recording the songs I wrote for my mate wrestler Adrian Street we were constantly insulting each other and the Yanks were quite shocked...it \\nwas so funny....they do seem to live in a bubble.\\n\\nSpeaking of the royalty Kate has been to Wimbledon for the beginning of the tennis....now forget Andy Murray....forget Nadal...forget Jocovic.....Kate has had her hair cut !!!....it\'s now a few inches shorter !!!...headline news......I\'m looking forward to the tennis especially week 2....I\'m not a gambling man but I might put a fiver on Nadal to win it....you have to play the game to realise how good these players are and the level of fitness required....many years ago there used to be a pre Wimbledon tournament in Hoylake where a lot of the top players would turn out to get themselves in shape....my band used to entertain them at a nearby hotel (Leasowe Castle)...and I remember a guy called Peter Lundgren who asked if he could get his guitar and play a few tunes with the band....I was showing him the riff to Jumping Jack Flash and the world number 10 was hanging on my every word....horses for courses?'
