Let's Do The Show Right Now!
I reckon this is my first ever real-time blog. I've just nipped out during the interval of a recording of Let's do the Show Right Here in Milngavie. It's underway in the town hall and I have to tell you the audience are having a ball...some are on their feet and dancing in front of the stage.
It's really good to be back in the midst of a live production like this. I was there for the soundchecks and grabbed a quick word with our host Michelle McManus before the curtain went up. It's a different kind of showbusiness from the kind we do in radio studios. And it's all in a good cause.
In my old job as Department Editor I woukld attend every one of these events and would often be recording them on video for posterity. At least it gave me a job to do. I have to admit to feeling like a bit of a spare part tonight, walking around shaking hands with people.
So that's why I've nipped out in the interval to write this blog update. The second half of the show promises to be just as much fun. There's a bit of a nostalgia theme going on, with Marmalade and Middle Of The Road taking to the stage.
Chirpy, chirpy, cheep cheep anyone?
