He spoke to Janice Long about Emmerdale too. He is aware that they use his songs alot in the storyline which I think is very sweet. ( The scriptwriters love of them and the fact that Morrissey must find it amusing and a compliment afterall he doesn't get radio play but his songs get mentions in front of millions of viewers )
You know I've always wondered why there seem to be loads of southerners in northern soaps like Emmerdale and Coronation Street and you rarely see northerners in Eastenders, despite there being a lot of northerners in London.
I was thinking there must be a shortage of northern actors up north. I mean some of the northern characters in Corrie are fake. Rita Sullivan, Tracy Barlow, Carla Connor and Gail Platt are southerners who fake northern accents. Why?????
There's a fundraising site http://forevermanchester.com/ listen to the radio for a bit... about a minute... and Mike Joyce pops up... promoting Manchester Marmalade!
After two exhausting family dinners on Thanksgiving day we left the kids at my Mother-in-law's and fled to Detroit for a concert, assuring her that we'd be back to claim them at midnight. Doors opened at 8:00. By 11:00 the opening band was just starting to set up - and very slowly at that, so we had to leave without seeing a thing. Very disappointing.
I listed to Philly sports talk radio on ESPN 950 during work hours..As the host came back from break, I heard the opening guitar from The First of the Gang to Die. That was an unexpected pleasure.
