With the festive season approaching now is a good time to start shaping up you party piece - I have one: I can make a plate of sausage rolls disappear.
Anyway, in the 50s, age 8-10, I was part of a carol singing trio who performed in the pubs around Hockley - we were so bad we were paid to stop singing, anyway one of the trio, Jim (can't remember his real name) could play the spoons well, infact once he was up to speed he sounded remarkably like a Vickers machine gun, and so enthusiastically did he perform (using every inch of his anatomy) he was bruised black and blue by the end of the evening.
Never heard Silent Night with spoons accompanyment? You do not know what you are missing.
