Val Joyce played some of the late Frank Ifield's songs last night in tribute including the hit ---"I'll Remember You". Cliff Richards has an unusual song out at the moment. He will find it hard to reach Number One for Christmas.
Finally a poem from Jack Quinn -

On naked bush
In pierced armour
of puffed feathers
With sturdy patience
Awaits uncertain Spring
