Holly Johnson looks to be George Michael big now. - but still a great voice.

Why Heston Blumenthal?

 

Seems a bit random.

 

Is he a red?

[Billy Shears]

Heston ?

Fair play to all involved, just pre ordered now.

Sounds very very good.

[smithdown]

Never liked this song before, but it doesn't sound the least bit corny any more.

 

Just a great choice.

[Molby]

I thought Paul Mcartney had decided to join, last minute

Guitar solo

Guitar solo

 

that's still quite good though innit

 

thought he was gonna swerve it

[aka Dus]

Great stuff. Rory have you read anything about it being available on pre order in Ireland?

[Raj]

Glad to say that my company is making the cd. A lot of work has gone into this so really hope it's a success for everyone

[Rory Fitzgerald]

No, haven't seen anything Dus but my brother (not a LFC fan) will be getting it as a stocking filler present for Christmas when its released on CD here.

[scoose]

glad he swerved the singing like if the olympics was anything to go by

 

Joking aside fair play to one and all involved

[Rory Fitzgerald]

 

For want of better and more appropriate diction, I think its humbling that the charity song had its roots at Goodison with lyrics echoing family ties - its a beautiful bipartisan moment I think.

He just happened to be staying in the same hotel as them all the night before

Really? And someone thought "hey there's a famous chef available tomorrow, let's rope him in to do a bit of singing with us"?

Steve Rotherham asked him. Take it up with him

they probably wanted a nice lunch

You used to be a lot nicer before you got famous.

[johngibo YPC]

Haha, thats not true

It is a bit random, but it was just a case of everyone drinking in the bar the night before and spirits being high

chef fella was around and Steve Rotherham asked him to be in the video the next day. Doubt he actually sang

See that's all you had to say first time.

 

 

 

 

You're alright though Gibbo. Just don't let it all go to your head :)/>

funny thing is there probably will be some dolt somewhere who goes 'ooh, Heston's done a charity single for christmas! I like his bicycle lock on toast, i think I'll download his song too', so it's all good innit

[aka Dus]

Gives the campaign a profile in the stockbroker belt.

 

Why didn't Gary Barlow do it, and he a massive red. His mate trumping him.

Exactly. He's probably got loads of twitter followers for some unknown reason

Rumours are they knocked him back because he is very close with the Sun

General rules seem to be that non reds with links to the Sun were forgiven but reds with links to the sun were f***ed off

Miles Kane was vetoed for that reason which pleases me greatly, the Wirral beaut
