The song playing when I got to the reception couldn’t have been funnier. #howlongathon

A photo of Mark Watson dropping in to The Horne Section's HowLongAthon a couple of weeks ago. He and Alex Horne are standing having a conversation talking into microphones. Around them are Ed Sheldrake on the keyboard, Will Collier on bass guitar, and James Acaster on drums. The clock indicating how long they'd been playing says 16hrs 12mins.
A very blurry screenshot from a video with the caption 'Heathbrook school ukulele band getting us through our 19th hour.' Behind the text is me, a white woman sitting in my powered wheelchair with my arms slightly up waving in time with the music. I am wearing a daffodil sleeveless dress with a white top underneath it, glasses, a white FFP2 mask and noise-cancelling headphones. My eyes look like they are closed because I was smiling and I cannot stress how blurry this screenshot is! To the sides and behind me are the torsos of other people standing watching the performance.
2+ weeks later and I think I've finally recovered from going to see part of the #HowLongAthon 🤣 never been more glad I don't celebrate anything this time of year!
Didn't get any *good* photos but here's one of Mark Watson's second appearance. (And I VERY briefly appeared in someone's video clip!)

Seems there’s just no escaping it! Part two of the #howlongathon is now on our YouTube for anyone missing it.

I realised yesterday, to great annoyance, that the 6hour round trip for the #HowLongAthon could have been a 3hr round trip if our local train station were accessible. SO frustrating.
Of course it was still worth going and I'm glad I did, but I could have been there longer AND been less knackered!

In case you missed it, or maybe 25 hours of that song wasn’t enough… part one of our #howlongathon is available on YouTube now!

Progress! Some proper respite last night, then woke up with it going again today, and it's been intermittent since but right now it's just the chords and beat, no melody. I'll take it.
( #HowLongAthon but the music in my head is definitely a TooLongAthon.)

An image of Alex Horne looking incredibly exhausted towards the end of his 25hr song challenge for Stand Up to Cancer. The inserted comments below read: user 1: He looks extremely distressed. Like he is afraid he will throw up soon. user 2: And gorgeous!

"fading" hahaha HAHAHAHA woke up with it going full force today.
Haven't listened to it since Friday night, any clips watched with the sound off. But it just keeps going …
Anyway, here's a clip of Mrs Horne visiting, dancing & celebrating the 16hr mark #HowLongAthon

A screenshot of Jason Mantzoukas trying to escape from Alex Horne, who is playing the French horn every time Jason is in motion. It is an exercise in futility. He can not escape. The image is from the "Answer the Cheese Phone" task from series 19 of Taskmaster. Above Jason the words "Me, trying to go about my day" have been added, and near Alex is the caption "🎶 HOOOW LOOONG HAS THI- 🎶" Help? Even when OTHER music is playing, I STILL HEAR IT. (At least it's an unyielding reminder that there are still people doing good in this world. Thank you Horne Section. 🖤)

First & last thing I hear every day still: 🎶How long ...🎶
Must be what madness feels like.
Didn't think it possible for @thehornesection.bsky.social to ever do something to make me hate them even a little bit but...
Hope this song haunts their silly noggins 'till the end of time.

A screenshot from The Horne Section's 24 hour challenge playing a single song constantly. Mark Watson is singing into a microphone on a stand and Alex Horne is standing behind Mark with his arms wrapped around his middle and resting his head on Mark's shoulder. Ben Reynolds is playing the drums behind them and on their right are Will Collier on the bass guitar (although we can't see his guitar, obscured behind Mark and Alex) and Ed Sheldrake on the keyboard. The digital clock indicating how long they'd been going at that point says 4hrs, 15mins, 45secs.
The song is finally starting to fade! Watched or listened to (or was there) for about 17-18 hours of the #HowLongAthon in total but most of my screenshots are from the early hours. This might just be my favourite.

Oh. Now I start to know the verse …
Hoooow long has this been going on!
(Maybe I was distracted by Alex’s talking and the visuals so I couldn’t memorise the lyrics before)
#howlongathon
Also just a possible typo that would make sense #howlingathon

After just over 25 hours of non-stop playing, @thehornesection.bsky.social and I finished the #howlongathon live on Channel 4 last night! Thanks to everyone who supported in person and online, all the guests who came down to join in, and to everyone who donated.

People talk about songs living rent free in their heads, but I think this one is holding me to ransom now. How much do I have to donate before it goes away?

OK, I've been awake for 2 hours now.
My brain is still singing, 'How long has this been going on?'
It also felt like it didn't stop even while I was asleep.
And I've watched less than half of it!
I can’t imagine how @alexhorne.bsky.social and @thehornesection.bsky.social must feel.

The 25h #howlongathon (well, in sum about 18h for me) was an expierience. I would have never thought that I keep going along that long while enjoying it all the time.

I made it through the whole #HowLongAthon and then took a four-hour nap. I feel like I had a fever dream that lasted a week, and there’s a song stuck in my head that I don’t know any words to except the seven in the chorus

A Spotify screenshot, showing "How Long" by Ace is currently playing.
I think my brain hates me. I can't sleep because it's stuck in my head, I'm hoping one last listen might clear it...
