We've had a good week but also I must say choosing now is a night I will never ever forget. Just incredible incredible you went on Sunday I went to on Tuesday August stand up and take a bow son. To music that Manny's something else well I mean this is the thing is it's difficult for me because of obviously seen more than once but I did sort of say to you that I thought it would be one going to half that you enjoy but how would you rather than me go on about it how would you sum it up how can you say. It just was the wall of it when he came on walls all of its you name it whatever. He wants even with that song to do that song it just it just is a plethora of just while. You work with him like David. Just amazing incredible there's no words you can't put your single word on that concept what he gave the funny thing is and this is the amazing thing about it. The penny dropped for me as well about a day after probably the Monday this week the fact that he didn't play all of chics hits there were some he didn't play and there were some Sister Sledge records which he also pretty. She didn't play on the other Madonnas actually wrote and didn't you know I mean there's only only so much you could fit into an hour and a half worth of being on stage before what a performer I mean I just I saw it from a perspective of a performance you know I was shows because I'm so I was seeing. Week that was something else not RAW just this week incredible I think 2800 been one for seeing concerts and things because we are privileged to see concert the king's with with. Remember it was on now there we go I think of that was incredible So you know to see those in the space of you know it was a 6 months it's just been brilliant but no no Rodgers topped it off and I still say he is the best performance I was seeing at Glastonbury volatile home watching on telly Oh it was Jack Italy I saw that live as well all last summer I mean you know never anything better than no Coldplay comes a very close 2nd but that for me no Rodgers topped it yes it was it was a very special one but you know what a band all further absolutely amazing the drum the base. The all get involved and that's what I like about it and it's to sing is great singers on so many and the lady who's had so many bloomin. Billboard she had Yeah yeah she got. In the last few months or something and the last few months clearly one gentleman sat behind a synonym for stolen accent I want people he said but let's just say he complimented them if you'll syllables there were other people there rather good yes on that and how they harmonize with one another because they were important and they are real people remarkable writes glad you enjoyed it it was great we'll in just a moment Steve will get on to musical crosswords but it was alright with you I just want to pass on some information because the travel news tonight is nothing major to report on the roads but we're keeping an eye on the latest information which is just emerge from. Port now if you are planning or know someone who is planning to go away this weekend and was due to fly from Gatwick tomorrow this news is important because it looks as though the decision has been taken for get we care port to remain closed tonight so nobody is going to be flying tonight I'm afraid but also that the airport could potentially be closed for the whole of tomorrow which I mean given that that's the big day for everybody to travel the way for the winter break that is going to be well pretty awful if that is the case so far a spokesman has admitted for Gatwick Airport that 120000 passengers flights have been disrupted so far and this is still ongoing at the moment Well anyway we'll have more on that in the news at 11 o'clock with more here on The Late Show right on so this. Is not the late let's get any physical close lads. Now the way this works is that around about 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon I decide on the 1st tune which we're going to play on the musical crossword tonight and then at 8 o'clock of an evening Facebook then gives you the details of what we're doing and people start to nominate their suggestions for musical crossword but the reason we launch it now is because if you'd like to take part then obviously if you're not connected to his on social media you get details of what we're up to and you can join in the fun it's rather like a crossword in a newspaper The difference being that rather than using common letters to connect the answers which were given what we do with this being a musical crossword is we use song titles to connect through common words to each title but and this is the but each song title has to be 3 or more words that's rule number one a Rule number 2 is that song number one links to number 2 and then using another word from the title of song to it links. To number 3 now tonight we're going to go for the Neil Sedaka classic from years ago called Breaking Up Is Hard To Do and it was also done by the Partridge Family but I thought we really need to go for the Nielsen darker original so that's what we're going to be doing tonight and Steve had time to have a little think about this so what have you come up I'm rather proud of myself actually goes Yes So from Breaking Up Is Hard To Do To Do They Know It's Christmas time we go and I believe in Father Christmas. I guess Monday right like Yes it's interesting because the correct like track I played right at the end of last night you did Graham and squeeze in the end it is such a top top song that somebody said to me a few few months back that when we were talking about Christmas tunes they said that the greatest Christmas song ever I thought wow that is some boring OK More so than white Christmas now I've got a little favorite I've got to shake the Stevens OK. And Leona Lewis one more sleep oh yeah those 2 for me are just like yes I must admit Leona Lewis one is rather nice it is I heard it on the way in. Yes full blast I apologize to people that are so offended with my singing you know people looking across at the car thinking is that bloke in that car or things easily on the loose at the moment he or I really need to grow hair a bit though to me it interesting that. I'm only trying to take 678-5060 B.B.C. . Take and then send your message to H one triple 3 the. B.B.C. Deal with the U.K. . At Radio that is all Facebook dot com social media this is so it's over to you you've got 23 minutes to get your suggestions in tonight and I need to tell you that Stephen and I. Yes. I don't. Ever ever ever and if you. At the same time it really is about. Very loud as I drive along the motorway at the weekend to go and see the family you know take the Christmas presents the stuff because I'm actually here on Christmas Eve next week just a reminder that. Next week is the final week of The Late Show but then remember that whichever days you choose to stick with us next week Christmas Day is the only day we're not here so the evening of Christmas Day Yes I will probably be tucked into a bottle of red but anyway and hopefully I will surface the following day at some point to arrive to do the Boxing Day program that being the theory. Anyway just a. Little confidence but clearly all voice box now tonight we have for you then tonight's musical crossword which begins with the song title breaking up now breaking by the way is with a G OK Just in case you want it it is not and then an apostrophe so breaking up is hard to do any one of those words in a 2nd song title and then using the song titles remaining words which you've chosen for the 2nd one connect to a 3rd one so as we end up with a 3 title musical crossword that's what we're looking for tonight and Dan impressed in these 1st 3 on the text on $81.00 trouble day $81.00 trouble 3 and that with the 1st word is cheese C H I S O cheese and then you message to triple 3 and he suggests a hard day's night by the Beatles followed by the night before by the because. And taking it you like the Beatles actually Beatles for Sale always number one on this day back in the Beatles were number one just about all the time going back over that period anyway Dan thank you very much I hope your enjoying life in Preston on no doubt give you a little why even as I drive through again usually on my route through to sirens Esther and back again you know Anyway it's good to know you with us and thank you for taking the trouble to get in touch I must also say hi if I may to Diane Ling Gloucester has been in touch why would you believe this she suggests a hard day's night by the Beatles and following it with 1008 with you by Elvis but unfortunately Diane doesn't work because the title of the song is one night and that's 2 words and it has to be 3 or above so if you want to try to squeeze in another one all you do is you get going to get your thinking cap on between now and 11 o'clock so there we are now just to tell you before we read more about Paul Ince and George being in touch to suggest that. Now I don't know or say this is just a little gag I say because he was saying that you know I said that Whitney Houston the only name I can think of that's got 2 names in one name so Whitney and Houston and he says there's also Charlton Heston Yes that's true Johnson Heston but then he goes on to say Pete what about Peter and Dawn Castor. Well I think that's quite enough of that now but anyway thank you and Merry Christmas to you too Paul and thank you very much for getting in touch anyway more of your suggestions for our musical crossword tonight you've got just 15 minutes to get through make the most of it or not we have a long literally call now on only tundra 26781566 B.B.C. Summer. And then send your message to H one triple 3 e-mail at B.B.C. Delgado U.K. Twitter follow at radio the chain is all Facebook dot com slash media this is. It was Cher am Fernando on The Late Show is coming up for 11 minutes to 11 you know not for the 1st time a new story has emerged where the emergency services have not been helped by the attitudes and thoughtlessness of other road users where this latest drum bursts is being caused by off street parking in Mom sprit in we'll share where emergency services were unable to attend an incident because their route was blocked by cars which were parked badly firefighters are being called to a fire on Athelstan road but they were unable to reach the property because they couldn't get the fire engine through to the house which was a light what it was described by one officer as the worst display of street parking he had ever seen the officers had to run down the street to reach the house fire while the rest of the crew was banging on the door was trying to get local residents to move their cars so the fire tender could get to the emergency Well local people are sufficiently angered by the incident to have now started a petition to try to draw attention to the issue but will it make a difference while the local town council is reported to have said they will consider the petition and a course of action when they meet next month but I think there's a very strong message there for everyone I mean it is one of these things now those people get more cars in the family they go to stick them somewhere that may only have room for one at the front of the house and then they try to find other places to park it I know. Because I've seen this happen in what was a very quiet close in which I live you know in a rural area but now you know we've got neighbors you've got kids who've grown up I've got cars and you get this sort of problem building and you know all I think we can say at times like this is trying to encourage people to think very carefully because you just never know when the emergency services are going to need to get through and it could be a matter of life or death you seem simply enough to mention it doesn't it really but it's another thing for us to stop make sure that we think about him coming up next on THE like a song from Stevie Wonder then more of your suggestions on our musical crossword here on the light show. You have a little moment when you sit in on the phone and has suggested I won't give up oh no that's the title of her song from Jason Mraz and that leading on to that with I drove all night I won't give up yes that's the word up which is the link I see and I drove all night the Celine Dion version.

And finally Linda as being in touch to give the oceans are not tried this before but here goes she says Following on from Breaking Up Is Hard To Do Do You Want To Know A Secret Police crime or in the Dakotas and I know him so well by Elaine Paige Lind in children Poland thank you very much indeed for those suggestions and on that we got we form an exchange we got just a just enough time to say hello to Marcus in Bristol who suggest hard to say I'm sorry by Chicago and then Connie Francis who sorry now Myron intro bridge suggests leaving it up to you by George Ezra and I've got a feeling amount of it isn't right for a coroner and a leaving on a jet plane Peter Paul and Mary not the Linda suggest she works hard for the money Donna Summer and the heat is on by Glenn Fry And thank you to Sarah who suggested by the time I get to Phoenix spike then Campbell and walk on by Dionne Warwick very very good is the number now on only 206781566 B.B.C.
