It's Chris Difford from Squeeze.
Cheers for posting that Wiz! x
I'd love to see it top the charts this xmas instead of the X-Factor winner!

Me too. Especially as it is for Children in Need. I love Squeeze and I think lots of people will identify with the message!
Here's what Squeeze sounded like for those who have forgotten or are too young to have heard of them:
'Up the Junction' :

and 'Cool for cats' :
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pehHNJWKf3g
both of which reached no #2 in 1979

thanks 
I've never heard of them before. 
Agree about Dom ruining it a little. He even gets more air time in it then John Sergeant!

Yes I didn't think it possible for Dom to be anymore irritating - but guess what? He can!
Not enough JS for my liking

I love Squeeze. What did happen to their keyboard player, some Holland chap? I've got "Cool for Cats" on pink vinyl. I just wish I still had a pink vinyl player
We must buy this and Aled and Terry!
Stop the X factor Xmas Number 1 chart domination!
(I watch X factor also, just hate the cynical hijacking of a great tradition in the charts).

Yes I heard about Aled and Terry and have been too scared to check it out.
I think this is a great song because I can't stop humming the chorus already!

It's pretty good actually! If you like the original I don't think you'll have a problem with this.

I checked out Terry and Aled and found it to be a poor imitation of David Bowie and Bing Crosby.
But the One Show single is a winner!
Ah, bless you all... Thanks for the kind comments... On behalf of all of the writers, cheers!
It's on iTunes and Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lets-Not-Fig.../dp/B001N4VIPI) so far that I can find... I should imagine it will all the download stores tomorrow for the official release date!
Let's raise some money for Children in Need... And, of course, Let's Not Fight This Christmas!
Kenton x

Sorry then - Terry amuses me and Aled is a great singer...

Excellent! Certainly need something to smile about tonight. The atmosphere on here is TOXIC and as un-festive as you could get!
I used to have a massive crush on Glenn Tilbrook.
(where is that embarassed smiley when you need it)
Anyway, yes, Lets Not Fight This Christmas.

He was kind of cute! Perhaps John and Christine will be sending copies of the singles to the judges?
Chris is one of the best lyricists this country has had - right up there with Paul Weller as one of my fave artists of the last century. I'm gonna be singing "Labelled With Love all night now
Is there anyone left who would still argue that John wasn't trying to make this series all about all about him?
Ah well, enjoy.
Ah well, enjoy.
Hold on a moment - have you even watched the clip diva-moon? John is one of about a dozen people featured. How does that make it all about him? He is very much part of a larger team. I mentioned him and Christine because they were both in SCD until recently.
