Birthday Buddies...

Bryan Burnett | 17:36 UK time, Monday, 17 November 2008

Kirsty from Killie has got Ricky Martin and Lemmy, while Angus in Skye has got Marvin Gaye and Keren from Bananarama! Who do you share your birthday with? That's the theme for tonight and it looks like it's going to be great fun. It's the contrasting 'birthday buddies' that are making us smile. Some great imaginary duets are possible by teaming them up. Maria Callas and Britney Spears for instance. tv001991906.jpg
I have got Prince Phillip and Judy Garland for mine but some people are way better off. If you were born on July 6th you could blow out the candles with 50 cent, Nancy Reagan, The Dalai Lama and Sly Stallone. Or what about those lucky souls born on 13th October. They get to celebrate with Margaret Thatcher, Marie Osmond, Nana Mouskouri and Lenny Bruce. What a swell party that would be...

    It is an honour to share a birthday with this lady.

    As Maria says, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.

    My birthday is 19 July, and I share with:

    Brian May (Queen)
    Evelyn Glennie
    Allen Collins (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
    and Martin Powell from Cradle of Filth!

    Any of those could make an interesting duet...

    My sister once met Evelyn Glennie.

    Her life is much more interesting than mine.

    I seem to share my birthday with Celine Dion and a Serbian winner of Pop Idol!! Please don't play either of them. This is a huge shock - I wish Brian hadn't made me look at that. Had no idea that I shared a birthday with Ewan McGregor.

    Apparently though, my mum's cat shares a birthday with Willie Nelson! That should be more to Brian's taste.

    I see Beth Orton is getting a wee bit of a mention here. Lucy Wilkins has played on a few of her albums as well as Van Morrison, David Gray, Travis, Divine Comedy, Paul Weller, Marc Almond, Natacha Atlas, Gabrielle, Suede Tindersticks to name a few.
