most unhip and yet most deserving of charities,
the Sally Army, normally has better things to do
than wonder whether or not it gets enough
exposure in the media.

likes of Barry J Mishon when it comes to
star-studded extravaganzas.
With
Christmas fast approaching, the army has
recruited an impressive range of performers to
give their services - gratis - to its seasonal CD
of extracts from the Bible, The Word in your ear.

Willetts, Martin Jarvis, Keith Michell, Toyah
Willcox and Peter Bowles all feature, among many
