Amblethwaite 'Appenings & More Fairly Truthful Tales.

The lads have done it again! The latest CD from the pen of Gary Hogg. 14 very funny tracks on here, that had me in stitches from the word go. Just make yourself a nice cuppa, then settle down and be entertained. Performed once again by the inimitable Bernard Wrigley and his motley gang of   musicians. I wish I had his reciting and musical talents, come to think of it, I'd settle for his voice! It's the perfect instrument for telling a tale. This CD is just the job for sharing with friends of all ages, over a few cans.

The book of the CD! 40 hilarious monologues in this classy paperback. I don't know how Gary does it. His head must be full to bursting point, with bits of comical nonsense, I sometimes wonder if it's a gift or a burden. Just imagine, you're walking the dog, or doing a spot of gardening, when out of the blue, a line just shoots into your thoughts. Fair enough, it can happen to us all. But, how many of us can then weave it into a twenty verse monologue, and also make each verse funny? Gary Hogg has that talent, and more besides. He's got characters in this book, as far ranging as:> Aliens from the planet Beebop, a very clever dog called Jacky, a tramp by the name of Wilfy Spode, and just for good measure there's even a one ton pigeon. There's summat in this book for all tastes, just so long as your taste is humour! Below are the listings for the book, the ones in RED are on the CD. So, the choice is yours. Settle down for a good read, or bung the CD in and let Bernard do it for you. Further details, and a few MP3 tasters can be found at www.garyhogg.com or www.bernardwrigley.com
