Madeliene McCann Favourite To Win All-Ireland Talent Show
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
WEXFORD PEOPLE: “On the trail of fame and fortune - DONNA MARIE SAYS C’MON WEXFORD!”
C’mooooonnnn!!!
DONNA MARIE Sludds has become an overnight pop sensation – a mere twelve years after she first stepped on stage with the family band. The livewire from Ballymurn has been chosen to compete in R.T.E.’s All-Ireland Talent show and is due on television next weekend.
The girl’s got talent, alright.
The daughter of Ollie and Julie Sludds she says she has been a musician as long as she can remember. At the age of eleven, she picked up a bass guitar and performed in public with her parents’ group. These days she is better known as the lead vocalist in Lady Dee and Breeze 52.
Talent will out:
‘Donna Marie is causing a bit of a stir,’ said delighted mother Julie Sludds last week as moves gathered pace in a campaign to support Donna in the TV competition. With telephone votes from viewers deciding the issue, she needs to have plenty of support among members of the public. So family and friends have been blitzing the county with posters reminding the people of Wexford that she will be looking for their backing on Sunday.
Posters. Have you seen Donna? It’s the Donna Marie support campaign. Eyes down:
‘I am terrified but it’s healthy,’ said Donna cheerfully before departing for Bray. She already has a track record, not only as a performer with the Breeze 52, but also as a songwriter.
Oh?
She composed ‘Little Angel’ in response to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann and the same song has also helped to raised funds for the family of Amy Fitzpatrick who vanished while living in Spain last year.
Now that’s talent.
Old Mr Anorak’s youngest, the darling Anorakia, has yet to achieve the talent her msucial ability deserves, but hopes that her Song for Jade Goody will succeed where her other songs – Gisa Gaza Prayer, Sha-Sha-Sha-Na-Na-Na-Shannon and Katrina And The Hurricane have failed.

Amoral & political aspirations sounds like a perfect match C&C

Parliament Square was bloody freezing when I was there for the Gurkha rally, and that was in the balmy breezes of late November; I was fortunate in borrowing a banner to wave, since that was probably the only thing which staved off hypothermia……

thats ok just realised it was a stupid question lol
February 6th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
sorry BF that looks abrupt, wasn’t meant to be!
February 6th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Why?
February 6th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
hey cool are you on facebook?
February 6th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
BF…. very good!
February 6th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
has he moved on to pilchards now then?
February 6th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
If I were Team McC I’d be be down there at No 10 with this Dorian /Doris. The Fund Company disclosed an expenditure in excess of 80K on ‘awareness’ alone in 10 months and this would be free publicity for the still missing Maddie.
February 6th, 2009 at 11:48 am
maybe, but if Amoral has political aspirations as reported then I doubt he’d want to be involved anymore.
The Portugese Goverment is allegedly none too happy at being branded corrupt by the anti-McCanns so IMO its around now that Amoral will start distancing himself. The book is done and dusted and he has bigger fish to fry!
February 6th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Perhaps not just the cold weather keeping them away, just common sense.
Even 3a’s not keen?
The meeting with Amaral would be a safer option
February 6th, 2009 at 10:32 am
The aim of it was (looslely) to ‘raise awareness’ of the mcCanns crimes.
They were also going to hand out Chesty-Cough’s booklet en route but no-one seems to want go out and play in the snow.
Maybe the meeting with St Amoral will have more of a take-up?

What can they legally protest about anyway?
February 6th, 2009 at 9:03 am
Totje I understand there has been little/no support for the proposed march on Downing Street.
It seems that typing reams of anti-McCann silliness on the keyboard is one thing but braving the winter chill in person is something quite different!
Poor old Dorian. He/she tries so hard…….
February 6th, 2009 at 9:03 am
Totje
So even she isn’t that keen….

Dunno, she didn’t give much information, but now I see it looks like it’s next week. Plenty of time to make arrangements

What is the protest about?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
Moderation? Spammy doesn’t like Doris, TB or the 2 smileys?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
“Anorak reports on live and current news items”
Better take your camera to Downing Street tomorrow. Scoop : Doris’ protest march, free pamphlets, Grrrrrrrrevill (or whatever his name is/was) on his motor bike and pictures of TB on the signs (can’t read what it says though).
February 5th, 2009 at 9:45 am
I wont present nothing with nothing
Ask the mccdosh to present us with something instead.This is all over the news.If Joana Morais is not a bona fide source I dont know whatelse you want.
People have been posting her articles over the last 2 years but suddenly even her informations are not good enough???
Whats wrong,people? Oh!….I see ONLY the british press and the mccdosh are bona fide,init?
Has anorak become a firm defensor of lies?
Hasta nunca
Moderator - After typing in ‘McCann Fund money’ in Google all that are returned are two items of news on the 29th Jan 09, one is the Telegraph and the other the Mirror.
Anorak reports on live and current news items, and we welcome opinions on those

The one essential for a budding ‘celeb’ of any age is a cause.
Missing kids are good……….
