The Wurzels - I Am A Cider Drinker 2007 (EMI Gold)

Released on April 16, here we have the classic Wurzels hit rerecorded in aid of the BUI Prostate Cancer Care Appeal. This is the band that, in the 80s, the Pope pulled over his Popemobile to watch in Canterbury. Then in the 90s they played at Buckingham Palace only for the Queen to ask for “the noise” to be turned down. And now in the 00s Robbie Williams opens his shows with Wurzels numbers, they collaborate with British Sea Power and the band’s Steve Clint Stallone is played by Steve Coogan in Thursday Night Fever. But none of this kudos outweighs the fact that guest vocals on this single come from Tony Blackburn. **
