Hello! *** keep it down at the back. Listen, before I start introducing my good friend, I've got a fax to read. This came in today, it says, dear Colette, please could you forward the attached message to Tony Ashton in Studio 2 tonight? Yours sincerely, Gary. And then on the other side it says, from Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, Tony, have a great night. We're all sorry to miss it. From Gary Brooker, Georgie Femme, Albert Lee, Beverley Skate, Terry Taylor, Henry Spanetti and Bill Wyman. Fantastic! Now, I could have been on here introducing you to one of my fellow countrymen tonight, because when I first met Tony Ashton in our local about six years ago, for about three and a half weeks, he had me believing that he was from Glasgow. And when I first met him, he was wearing a balaclava and a boiler suit in the corner with a pint, and he went, I held it up for about a week, until Sandra or Indra told me that he actually wasn't from Scotland. And I'm sure that most of you will know, but maybe some of you don't, that Tony's been extraordinarily ill lately. Keep it down at the back, will you? Thank you. Tony's been very ill, and has come through the other side of it. And we're very lucky to have him here tonight, but that makes us very, very lucky to have him here tonight. You know. And rumor has it that during his surgery and his illness, that Tony Ashton, in fact, did die. And he went up the big tunnel, up towards a light like that, you know. And he got up there to the end, and when he got to the end of the tunnel in the bright light, there was Ronald Fraser, Ronnie Fraser, standing at the pearly gates. And he went, Darling, come in. You really are one of us. And they had a wee chat, and then Tony said, oh Ronnie, let's go and have a pint. And Ronnie said, well, the trouble is, the pubs here don't open till half seven, and it's only four o'clock. And Tony looked at him and went, Oh, *** it. And he came back to us, and thank God he did. He's a fantastic musician. He's one ***ing hell of a good laugh, and he's a brilliant man. Ladies and gentlemen, Tony Ashton. Don't stop. Don't stop. Hey, what about that, you know? A Ewan McGregor look-alike. Cost a fortune.
