Those of you who know me will know that John Shuttleworth is my absolute hero so it was with great delight that I heard him (thanks to Hamish Budge for the heads up) on Radio 4's Loose Ends programme. In fact, I've just listened to the programme on BBC iplayer on the train home from London. He performed a new song called "One cup of tea is never enough and two is one too many". Yes, I'm sure some kind of reference to Hotmilkydrink is in there...
Have a listen to it and jump to 22 minutes on the clip to hear the master at work. Rolf Harris even freestyles alongside John on the track. What a duo! Another guest on the show then talks about metro sexuals and quizzes John about which skin products he uses. I think John is solely a Brut or Old Spice man and maybe splashes on some Blue Stratos on the odd special occasion.
Finally, John is about to undertake a national tour called The Minor Tour and other Mythological Creatures, beginning in November. I'm going to see him In Edinburgh on December 3rd so get yourself along for an evening of mirth, merriment and the opportunity to punch the air to some his great tunes.
Brilliant song title as ever from your man, Derek - maybe I should give him a listen.....

Heard the programme going out on Saturday and thought of you. :-)
I think a Rolf Harris/John Shuttleworth collaboration would be a dead cert for the Christmas Number one.

"I've got an Austin Ambassador Y Reg....."
My dad had one in the 70s, until my mum drive it into the side of a neighbour's house on her first - and only - driving lesson.
Great song!
