February 26 The 'I Made The BBC' 2008 World Tour I started a new 'job' in January (still with the same company but doing a different gig now). The job will require a bit of travel which is now something I won't mind. When I first started working for this company, 14 years ago, it was a lot harder to travel and leave the babies at home. I think I must have visited Spain, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, France, UK, Mexico, several states in the USA. I'm going to use the opportunity this time to play gigs in every city I visit. I haven't quite worked out the logistics of it but it's got to be a bit of a laugh. Next week I'm in Milan for some meetings and the people I'm meeting have an interest in playing music and have promised to find me somewhere to play and to loan me a guitar. If I do it I'll video it (as I will any other shows I can do). In April I should be ready for the Japan leg of the tour and there's an outside chance I'll take in the Czech Republic before then. In July I plan to gatecrash the village fete while we're on holiday. Hopefully they've forgotten about my performance there last year ... In time for Christmas I'll release my World Tour 2008 DVD.

Children's favourite Dustin The Turkey was plucked out as the best of six finalists, sparking a mixture of cheers and booing at the decision. They decided the cult figure's performance of 'Irelande Douze Pointe' - a parody of Eurovision - would be the one to ruffle some feathers at the song contest in May. Dustin, one of Ireland's leading stars since he joined 'The Den' with fellow puppets Zig and Zag in the 1990, swept all before him when he performed live. The bird is no stranger to being in the limelight having recorded six albums and performed a host of comical duets with artists such as Bob Geldof, Chris De Burgh, Ronnie Drew, Dervla Kirwan and the late Joe Dolan. After a number of years in the wilderness, Dustin The Turkey said he has decided to return to the recording studio in an effort to restore Ireland's position as the high kings Of Eurovision. Darren Smith and Simon Fine - composed the track with Dustin - previously collaborated on 'Crazy Turkey' from Dustin's bestselling album 'Bling When Your Minging'.
