Thanks to everyone who’s supported so far — but we still need your help to bring the Les Hart Stand lettering back home to Gigg Lane 💙 Every ticket you buy gets us closer to seeing Les Hart’s name proudly back where it belongs. buryfc.co.uk/bury-fc-x-back… #BuryFC #bfc140

Five years ago today the Heritage Chart was launched & @Limahl_Official had the first No.1. Since then we have gone from strength to strength with some 100 radio stations & several TV channels playing the chart. Around 90 countries vote every week. A huge thanks to our HC team!

Good morning to the lovely @LlantrisantMVC whose wonderful singing doesn't stop when they come off stage for @TalkingPicsTV . And there they were, outside a Monmouth tavern giving it large with the vocals. Thank for letting me join in guys and thanks for the recording.
