I’m back after having my body ravaged by norovirus. That was a bit dramatic, but it wasn’t a whole lotta fun, that’s for sure.
And what a way to return with what I believe could very well be one of, if not the first appearance of the SMQ (simply known as The Musical Quiz) – May 29th, 1992.
Because of that I have titled it: The Debut Album
The opening track was a Kid Company promo, some lottery numbers and scores, then the Panel is introduced:
Ed Mullen
I’m producing, playing sfx and participating on the phone from MC
Jack Harte clearly relaxing by lighting up and enjoying some hot tea
