'Web UK' meet w/H singing to X-mas karaoke CD

And finally, for the nuggets out there, the 'set list' was:
Beautiful (with H forgetting the occasional lyric and being handed a lyric sheet, which he promptly ignored and got the rest right anyway!)
No One Can (it has been too long since we heard this before. Definitely my highlight of the night)
Cover My Eyes (with audience and Pete on backing vocals... not something
you'd really want on CD!)
These Chains (wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... only problem was that
we knew this was the last song - that was all the Karaoke that we had!)
