Last night I was in Camden for a meal for my nephew’s birthday. Outside the restaurant, afterwards, I met so many youngsters who recognised me from my social media posts.
Among them, was a group of lads carrying their musical instruments, on their way to perform at a venue.
“Oh, my days! It’s uncle Eddie! We watch your videos and they’ve made a difference to our lives….”
I shook their hands and gave them all hugs. Then one of them said:
“Shall we play something for uncle Eddie?”
They all took their instruments out of their bags, and this ensued.
Thank you @jaz.lee_
