We've just recorded the backing track for the charity song and even if I say so myself it sounds really good. Lots of people showed up, thanks everyone you were brilliant. It's been ages since I've had so much fun without taking my clothes off.......I love swimming.
There were some really nice singers, Jen'the voice of an angel' Mawson was on form and Jo' Big Breaths' Warburton, Yes I did spell it correctly was her usual professional self. The surprise in the pack was Liz 'WOW! what a voice' Johnson, she was brilliant. Trevor from catering brought us a bit of Elvis, but no butties and then 'left the building'. Antony, one of my students sang all the right notes....not necessarily in the right order but he was giving it loads and he really enjoyed himself, which is all I asked for. Johnathan Wernham, god bless him managed to survive the whole session without sustaining any injuries, or appealing for a penalty. You have to play on the staff football team to understand what I am talking about.
We even had ex-students returning to make an appearance, thanks Dawn. She had trouble with her car but still managed to be at the studio on time, brilliant. Dave Grimshaw, my colleague at the university looked every inch the iconic singing idol......the guy is so photogenic he always looks good...I hate him, only joking. Russ 'Dancing on Ice' Dyson led the way with a supreme performance that may become folk law, it will be talked about forever...well at least until the end of today.
Dominic helped with the camerawork, it's us guys behind the lens shun the glory, but work really hard. cheers Dominic. Then there was the legend that is Phil 'The rock god' Creaghan. Dressed for the part, hair grown to a suitable length (he can sit on it...no it's not a wig) and the voice like a fire eater chewing gravel, he came he saw and he conquered......or he might have been playing conkers...what every it was he was fantastic. Behind the scenes Andy and Jim once again worked their magic. Thank god for talented people.
All in all it was a really good afternoons work.
