Christmas In Wigan Again - a light-hearted look (original)

[michelina411]

Very enjoyable! Sounds like great fun...... I hear a banjo or banjolele in there somewhere. Ukulele's are the best for a good time. Thanks Oh...by the way thanks for the subtitles or I wouldn't have understood much... being a yank.

[raffaport]

You're very welcome and thank you. Hope to hear more from you soon. Regards.

[ProfessorMatzko]

Hey Raff that's a great tune performed like a pro loved it mate. Merry Christmas.

[raffaport]

Thanks very much,ac; "let's hope it's a good one...".

[electricragtime]

I,ve just got me bum bacck in,t UK and greeted with a minus 8 so this is a very welcome relief and it put a smile back on my ugly mug....All the best for the coming festivities mate.........I,m sure wigan folk know how to enjoy themselves almost as much as us queer folk over here in Yorkshire

[raffaport]

Ay up, Kev. Ta for that. I thought you must have been avoiding this chilly weather and sipping the sangria. Hope you and yours have a belter this Christmas. Regards.

[LONGWINDING]

That was great, also your performance was great fun to watch. The dogs barking;-))) Great.

Thanx and Merry Christmas to you and yours,

Frank

[raffaport]

Hey, Frank - thank you for that. Yep, the dog enjoyed himself! Regards.

[Lis025]

J'adoooooooore !! bravo belle interprétation !

[raffaport]

Merci, Marj. Vous êtes très gentil.

[Leodorus]

Very nice song Graham, and your rendition is great...

it reminds me to The Incredible Stringband!

Beautiful arrangement... very well done.

[raffaport]

Hi, Leo. Thanks very much for that. Nice to hear from you. Have a good Christmas.

[TboneWilson1978]

[raffaport]

Thanks muchly, Tbone. Could you understand it in Sheffield cos ah kno t'folk can't talk proper in Yorksha? All the best!

[navim49]

Nice one Raffa. I see you got the whippets in to help with the chorus. My dogs have a very refined ear for quality. They loved it and have subscribed (Izzinlucy). Good to see the uke group is already paying dividends!

As a teacher, I've been given a fair few ties. In fact I've got more ties than my wife has shoes! And that's no mean feat!

[raffaport]

Hi Nav. Thanks for that, but you know you've just encouraged your good lady to go out and buy more clogs.

Yep, the whippet did well, but no-one seems to have appreciated the backing vocals from next door's pole-cats. That's show biz, I guess. Have a good Christmas, mate.

[buniluvr]

Thanks for the cheeky song! Very enjoyable :) HAPPY holidays Graham.

cheers

[raffaport]

Thanks, Julie, and the same to you. Regards and hope the hair's ok today:)

[J180Everly]

Thanks Graham! Merry Christmas and peaceful time to you and your family, too.

Regards, Stefan

[raffaport]

Thanks, Stefan. We've got so much snow here it could be down the road from you! Regards.

[EAM38]

I loved that! Merry Christmas to you :)

[raffaport]

Thanks, E. Anyone else reading this go and check out EAM38's Human (Killers) cover - it's great. Festive regards.

[garibelon]

Put it to my favourites...

Alll the best

[raffaport]

Danke, Gari. Good to hear from you and I hope you have a good Christmas.

[raffaport]

Hi, Kev. Yep, it is a good little ditty. Thanks for that and have yourself a good Christmas.

[raffaport]

Hey, Jean Hugues. That's much appreciated and you have a good one too! Regards, Graham.

[indigomorgan1]

Wee Heee!

Merry Christmas... that's a fun song!!

[raffaport]

Thanks, Indigo, and seasons greetings to you, too.

[maggiesband]

This is great - a different Christmas song. Well performed with the whole band, dogs and everything. Definitely all four thumbs up from us - and very Merry Christmas to you, your family and Wigan Ukulele Club!

[raffaport]

Hi, Vesa and Maggie. Glad you liked it. The dog was the most difficult part - I held several auditions before settling on a young whippet from Orrell. Thanks for your kind greetings and the same to you both and your relations:)

[1Jisom]

There is a bit of culture here, a bit of history i'm not familiar with. I'm sure it's ancient for sure. Interesting for sure, I have to know what a whippet dog is.. Ha!

[carrolly2k]

Merry Christmas Graham! That was perfection!!

[raffaport]

Thank you, Jim. Glad you liked it and the compliments of the season to you.

[UkePunk]

Wahey! Nice one Raffa mate! Merry Christmas :)

[raffaport]

Hey, El Punko. Thanks for that and have a good one in Rammy!

[williheckaslike]

Ha, Ha ~ Brilliant Graham ~ I should get another shovel full o'coal, on't fire afore, tha freezes ta'death ~ I'm glad you put the the word's up on the screen, for those of us not used to the Lancashire Lingo ...... (I daren't put the spell checker on this !)

All the very best to you, Graham, all your family, and friends, Happy Christmas ~ Geoff, and family

[raffaport]

Hiya, Geoff. At least I know you know what it was all about!

Who ate all the pies? Well, I have to admit, I did my best!

Festive greets to you and yours, Geoff.

[UncaJeffy]

Merry Christmas!! I'm off now to pput antlers on my dog.

[raffaport]

Thanks, Richard, by proxy that is - I only borrowed the song from Stephen. Much appreciated. Regards.

[kidderminsterbro]

much pie in my life. so i can only dream of it.

[raffaport]

Thanks, Rich, and the same to you. Just a small slice at Christmas won't hurt!
