SIR - In reply to Karen Thompson (T&A, May 15), I never said that I didn't stand up when encouraged to do so by Gary Mullen, just that the people in front stood up when everyone else was sat down!

I am not a killjoy and have seen Gary three times now (once at Pennington's).

I thoroughly enjoyed the show, but it would have been nice to be able to actually see him as well as listen to him. He does a great tribute.
