I really don't know! I wasn't planning to attend zone 1 day this year but you never know...

Hmmm. I have a gig on Sunday 5th June, and was thinking of performing the Underground Can-Can once more as part of that. So if I do make it to Z1 day, should I rehearse it by having a re-run? Or should we hand out hymn-sheets to all, and try to sing it together over our pints and pies?

No objections to either option here

Oh, a massed performance would be amazing! I probably won't be there, so is there any chance of recording it?

Well, the not-so-good news is that we didn't manage to re-run the song at the pub on Z1 day evening - the way things panned out that evening made it a little tricky. Maybe next year. But the good news is...

What'll it be? Let me guess; you have an event planned. On (randomly) 17th June

Ooh, wasn't expecting a reply so soon before I completed my sentence! Here's the continuation:
...you'll be pleased to know I did another performance of the
Underground Can-Can yesterday (Sunday 5th June). This was the encore to an hour-long event entitled "Music with Mansell" in the village of Alfold (near Cranleigh, Surrey).
The audience numbered about forty, mostly senior citizens. They absolutely LOVED it!!!!

Hang on - does that mean I'm a senior citizen then?
As I LOVE it too!

Believe me, the years pass
sooooo quick as you get older. You'll be drawing your pension before you know it!
But I'm glad you love the song, even as a wee nipper!

I've tried to learn, but can't! I have learnt Jay Foreman's song though!
Hornchurch. Ickenham. Hainault. Cockfosters. Ravenscourt Park...
Nah, won't write it all out!

Pleased to hear it! Maybe I'll include it on my next CD. (Did you know I have a CD out now?)
