I wasn't expecting much from Galloway's warning last night that he would be singing two songs on tonight's Christmas show... but I was quite surprised really.

here are the three songs:

If anyone (that there nekokate for example!) wants to make them into a video for youtube I'm sure it would do the rounds for a while.

I've not heard them yet - I'm just downloading the show now and I'll give it a listen. I'm glad to hear you were pleasantly surprised, Face - I'm looking forward to hearing them now, hehe!

His singing voice was higher (and cleaner) than expected; sort of a baritone. He also carries a tune surprisingly well.

I've put these on my YouTube, along with some other notable stuff from the past few shows. I can't wait until he records more!!

What is it about MySpace pages that they have to be the worst designed eye-sores possible??

Whoever designed that needs a slap. A tiled background image?? And a pic of George from 4 years ago?? Jesus wept...

I know stuff like this shouldn't piss me off, but it does. There are enough people out there already who consider George a joke - it doesn't help that he allows tossers to run his websites, even if technically it's they who are taking advantage of his internet naivete...

I offered to fix his official myspace page last year, but when I contacted the person he said to talk to they were obviously not interested in being shoved aside... it's a catch-22

Can I suggest someone creates an "unofficial" myspace page(s) ?

You can use the same core "content" whilst altering the design.

Then let the battles begin ?

any 'battle' would only be fair if any other pages were given the same coverage, so again - it's a catch 22...

And I'm sure that any photographer would be happy to have their work used, if asked - it is for charidee after all...

The volunteers doing the myspace page aren't doing it for personal fame or glory. If someone comes up with a better design, they will appreciate it, and will use it if practical.

More strength to those volunteers, but maybe he should put aside a few hundred quid to pay someone for work that will, in the end, publicise him in a good light. He's not a charity case after all. I've done work for charities before (CND for example) and this kind of administrative cost is standard.

Here's something I just knocked out... a bit of MOAB humour never hurt anyone did it?
