Title: Familiar Face on BGT
Post by: PeteD on April 18, 2011, 11:24:59 PM
Well firstly this post requires that I make an embarrassing admission. Yes I was watching Britains Got Talent on Saturday night! (Well really what else is there to do on a Saturday when X Factor is not on?)

Well at about 24 minutes in whilst they were showing a general view of the Birmingham audition waiting room there was a brief clip of a very familiar face! It was Mr Cropredy Hurdy Gurdy Man in his usual outfit! (Sorry I don't know his real name) He didn't appear on the audition stage this week but that doesn't mean we won't see him do his stuff in forthcoming weeks?

Well spotted. Never seen the show myself and didn't know I was on.  Can I just say in my defence I didn't apply, I was phoned up.A strange gig really, as there is nothing I do that lasts 3 minutes, apart from gardening.  It was an interesting day out - it gave me a rare insight into human nature and what some people are prepared in search of the elusive butterfly of fame. More than this I cannot say other than I hope it didn't put you off your dinner :)

You didn't enjoy the experience then?

A good day out and I can tell the grandchildren (!) I performed at the NEC javascript:void(0);  
See you Talkawhilers out there somewhere.
