Christmas list; she gets in early....
Dear Father Christmas. I never usually ask you for anything because I go away most years and am not religious and to be fair haven't really celebrated Christmas since I was twelve years old, but I wanna try and get this in early so you'll see it and do me a favour. I sincerely hope the fact that I am not religious will affect my asking for something this year but I promise I have been a very, very good girl since I was twelve and I only ever want the world to sing together and be mucky and happy together all in one giant happy ball so I'm really not on the red man's side I promise.
So brings me to my list. There is only one thing on it, admittedly a big thing but I think it will bring lots of people lots of pleasure and I promise to look after it and spend loads and loads of time on it and I think it's like a joint present for me and all the positive people out there who like Music to share so I'm not being properly greedy, It's a sharing present.
With the demise of Top Of The Pops went one of my greatest and most prominent childhood fantasies, which was to grace that stage with my guitar. As there has been no replacement and I thinks I could do something wonderful, could you please, please, please Mr Christmas give me my own Music show? All I want is a lickle giddy camera crew, a decent sized stage and lighting, (have me own mike) a gold star on my dressing room door and a little slot on prime time TV. In fact - if you can just set me up the makings of a pilot I'll work the rest out. Think about it Mr Chrimbo and I'll start scouting for decent bands. I have four already, all excellent. There really are some, it's just all the big labels keep stepping on them and continually farming out rubbish, hence the death of the last show.
Yours in hope, Kiria.
