Charity Hoodwinked
To start the ball rolling. Kenneth offered to produce a record to raise money for Penny Dinners.
Not knowing his true colours at the time, they of course accepted.
He proceeded to record himself and a friend. A video was also produced.

Many people worked for nothing on this as it was for PD.
The album ended up being only a five song EP which included a song by Malcolm Urquart.
Strangely, a VAST number of copies were unnecessarily manufactured. 6,000 I believe.
The bills for this and various other providers started arriving at Penny Dinners.
This little adventure placed PD € 7,000 into debt.
PD freaked and immediately mobilised their volunteers to vigorously persuade people to buy this EP to pay off these unexpected debts.
They succeeded in paying off the CD manufacturers and other debtors, and then buried the rest of the copies of this embarrassing debacle.
PD were hoodwinked into being a vehicle for a questionable musical romp with undoubtedly political gain in mind.
Before the current Lord Mayor was selected, Ken announced that he 'deserved the job'.
He got to be Deputy LM. Congratulations Ken.
