One for Morecambe fans…

By John Freeman on February 19, 2007

I compered the monthly Spotlight Club at the Yorkshire House, Lancaster on Friday night (yes, it was me who welcomed a bemused audience with “Ladies, Gentlemen and dolphins — you know who you are…”)

Finishing the bill, which included four writers from Dumfries, was local musician Kriss Foster, whose song “Morecambe” anyone who’s ever been to the seaside town will enjoy. I clipped it a little, so check out his myspace site for a fuller version.
