'A Nice Break for the Nation'

The  poem read on 7 Waves Radio.  28. 4. 2011 by Victor Kinsman imitating Prince Charles.

‘A NICE BREAK FOR THE NATION’! By Victor Kinsman. (c)

Now whether you like the Royal family or not, tomorrow’s a wonderful day
Because, even if your not with us at the wedding, you get the day off… and with pay!

While we all get dressed in our Sunday best, in stiff stuffy clothes fit for court
You can relax and lay on your backs , in your gardens and seaside resorts

So just count your blessings that you’ve got a choice, whether to join us or not
The switch on you box can simply stay off, while we stand around getting hot

So remember Bank holidays aren’t just for Bankers, although they too must get away
For they need some time to spend all of their millions, they made out of you and your pay!

So now you can see, you might be relieved , that you received no invitation
For while Will and Kate have their memorable date, it’s still 'A Nice Break for the Nation'!

Radio Interview. 7 Waves.

On the 28th April, the eve of the Royal Wedding I was interviewed by Cath Ames at 7 Waves Radio Wirral, Merseyside. Cath is a genuinely warm and competent interviewer who conducted the proceedings with skill and charm. We chatted about my past professional life as a musician, cabaret artist and more recently my composing and recording activities.

We had some fun by my reading a poem imitating Prince Charles, a piece which I wrote especially for the occasion. This was to give listeners an alternative and positive view of not receiving a Royal Wedding invitation!. I will attempt to post the poem here for you.

All in all a very nice Radio item which Cath Ames concluded by playing 'Hand on Heart' a song from my Blue Planet Blues album. Thanks to 7 Waves Radio for the slot, Cath Ames for the inrerview and Dale Olivier of Matchbox Recordings for setting it all up.
