Gerry and Dermot went to Birmingham with their wives and twice the lift got stuck between floors in the hotel and they had to be rescued. It was like a scene from Titanic, says Isobel.

Sean has never seen Carve Her Name with Pride and always thought it was a western.

Billy remembers the singers on the street corner in Belfast in the fifties and wanted to hear one of the songs they used to sing called Valerie. Sam in Portadown said it's not called Valerie, it's called The Happy Wanderer - Val De Ree, Val De Rah, etc...
