Oh, yes it was. He was good too. Not as good as Barry Cryer though.

A memory of Barry Cryer on Desert Island Discs: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p009ml59


Also the last couple of minutes (from minute 58 approx.) on yesterday's PM (27th Jan) on Radio 4 has him singing Anarchy in the UK to the tune of Singing in the Rain from I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and an earlier segment with Sandi Toksvik remembering him (from minute 38 approx.)- https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0013rp9

    • These statements were in the Consultation Findings report published (later than promised) just before the licence was granted:  "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year – please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" I've drafted an email to request some more details of these "free-to-attend" events, as "up to" is a fairly meaningless description - could be 100, could be none? - and therefore doesn't help anyone to decide whether it is actually a benefit to the community or not. Even if it is 100, I'm not sure I could name even one of them? "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the provision of a grants fund – the Cultural Celebrations programme - please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" A similarly meaningless statement in terms of gauging whether, or how much, this is a benefit to the local community. What is it, what does it do, how much of the fee goes to it? And how can the fee go "directly" to two different things? Surely, "directly" means without deviation, straight to, without being changed or reduced?? Again, I'll be asking all these questions to the events dept. I find it outrageous & insulting that a public body can try to justify such an intrusive & disruptive event with such flimsy and opaque "benefits", with zero figures or details to quantify them. They may as well not bother with a consultation, just say "Look, we can't be arsed to justify our decision, it's happening so just deal with it".
