Sounds like "I dunno". Neil would if asked!
For your own good, call me tonight.

I'd be very surprised if Liza hadn't kept a diary, like Neil does.
If a diary was a source (and I don't think it was) they shouldn't have silly mistakes like The Palladium instead of Royal Albert Hall! She must have some memory of playing the Hall with Frank and Sammy surely?

On a more positive note - this from Liza...

''Kids, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. The London Times has announced that Hey Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! is a #1 Best Seller in the UK — My heart is overflowing with joy! Thank you for the love you continue to shower on me.''

So bought the book off Amazon for 99p (Kindle offer). Can’t say it’s the best read. The PSB part was way too short and bit naf tbh. I expected more about the studio sessions, hitting the clubs, meeting SDJ and FS, being on Wogan etc.

Who's the author of the book again, cos it ain't Tennant or Lowe.

You're aware Liza was slightly famous before she met PSB and knew SDJ and FS from childhood?

No, perhaps you weren't.

I was referring to the boys meeting them with Liza, not her directly. But thanks for your, erm, polite response.
