'Whereabouts in Birmingham is it?

Marjorie and Rex are from Lisburn but they're babysitting one-year-old Finn in Birmingham and Rex is wondering where Sean's blue plaque is.

Marjorie and Rex are from Lisburn but they're babysitting one year old Finn in Birmingham and Rex is wondering where Sean's blue plaque is. No-one gets called up to sing in pubs any more. But apparently they still do it in the Gransha Social Club, says Eddie O'Donnell. Mickey Todd remembers shouts of 'one singer one song!' if someone else in the bar decided to join in.

When Rose was a child in Dublin she went round the houses asking people to 'Help The Halloween Party' by giving her nuts and apples.

For months after Halloween monkey nuts were found in the drawers of Sean's house when he was a wee boy. In some houses with Brazil nuts there was an argument over who had the hammer next.

Gerry in Lisburn listens to the show in arrears. (The day after broadcast, on iPlayer). Music from Hi Fi Sean and Crystal Waters, Brook Benton, Freddy Fender, Perry Como and more.
