THOUGHTS have been on little else than the wonderful spectacle of the spell-binding Olympic Games for the last fortnight.
But now it’s becoming the guessing games as we await what I’m sure will be the greatest after party in the world.
The Spice Girls, Take That, Pink Floyd, Duran Duran. The rumours have been flying around about the Olympic Closing Ceremony.
All we do know is that music director David Arnold revealed: “If the Opening Ceremony was the wedding, then we’re the wedding reception.
We’re the one where everyone gets out of their cars at the village hall, goes 'Wasn’t that lovely, everyone looked great, let’s put on Blame It On the Boogie and have a laugh.’”
I hope he’s joking.
Or at least doesn’t mean the Big Fun version.
Thankfully, Arnold went on to say that the celebration of British music would include everything from chart-topping sensation Adele to classical composer Edward Elgar.
Apparently, it’s going to be cheeky, cheesy and thrilling, which sounds right up my street.
I’m looking forward to it. Just as long as Paul McCartney sticks to watching it all on the box like the rest of us.
After his live performance at the Opening Ceremony, I think the former Beatle should just Let It Be.
