Grandadzone
We are all feeling a bit star struck at Stormont today because we had a real life pop star with us - Keith Duffy from "Boyzone", who joined a protest in favour of improved services for children with autism. Keith's daughter was diagnosed with the condition when she was 18 months old. When he talked to us on "Stormont Live" we were all impressed by how passionate and articulate Keith was on the topic.
I am no "Boyzone" expert which was amply illustrated when Jim Fitzpatrick introduced me as chair of the local fan club and the best I could do was to summon up the title of a "Take That" tune.
Keith did not burst into song when he was at Stormont, but the Sinn Fein MLA Francie Brolly, a noted folk singer, serenaded his party colleagues at their Easter Lily event this lunchtime. Francie is one of the more veteran MLAs, which prompted a colleague of mine to suggest that he might qualify for a new "Grandadzone" boy band. Watch this space.
