Some friends who went along to hear the beautiful and talented Alicia Keys this week got R 'n B with extras when she told the audience: "Never stop fighting for your freedom Scotland". Alicia's mum is half-Scots I believe, and forced her daughter to sit down at the piano every night, with excellent results. Wonder if she could be persuaded to write a campaign song for next year...or get Jay-Z to provide some muscle...or even a few tips from the Obama campaign which he was closely involved in.
