i was at an event in shepton mallet a few years ago, other than having the wurzels live (so much fun :D ), there was a singer who would ask the audience to shout out memorable dates, be it birthdays / weddings / deaths or whatever, he would then tell the audience the no1 at the time and sing a couple of minutes of it!
was well impressed :]
