Royal Court Theatre

Yeah.

Yeah, and then you were in, like I said, you got little places like, Joan was having something, I think it was, was that, oh no, that was the Royal Court then, when you'd done...

When I auditioned for the pantomime.

You were only about seven then or something like that.

Remember the little boy you taught us how to tap dance, was he? Oh, you

remember that? Chris Booth, don't you? When we practiced time steps together.

Was that on the Royal Court? That was the Royal Court, yeah.

Yeah, the Royal Court or that.

We'd sort of knew him from around London when we were just, when we just sort of broke through.

He was always aware of The Farm, and we did, when we were at our absolute height when, um, Spartacus was number one, we did three nights in the Royal Court in Liverpool.

Uh, and Mick turned up in the afternoon and said, "I've written you a song.

Um, do you wanna play it tonight?" So we're like, "That, yeah, great." So we'd written this song about The Farm that we played at the Royal Court, and then we recorded it for the second album.

It's called Been a Long Time.

Peter changed the lyrics 'cause itse- seemed a bit, like, too self-reverential, us singing a song about our own, um, history.

So one of the things that they do is they...

they get a load of pensioners in Liverpool into the Royal Court once a month tell them a load of jokes and feed them a load of scouse so they don't feel lonely which is just a proper scouse thing to do isn't

it just a boss thing to do isn't it

and then they do stuff in schools as well with like using laughter as medicine for young kids to feel more confident and stuff like that so yeah if anyone's listening and wants to get the link to sponsor me then I'll fire it across
