One of Four Poofs and a Piano quits day job on city council

Glamour and city council aren't normally uttered in the same sentence. But Merton, England's Ian Parkin, who has spent the last two years "helping streamline internal business processes" is not your average employee. As one quarter of Four Poofs and a Piano, the resident house band on BBC TV's "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross," his evening job sees him rubbing shoulders with Kylie Minogue and Madonna, appearing at this year's Edinburgh Festival and releasing Christmas singles. Much to the chagrin of local government, Ian, 47, who lives in Tooting, has quit his day job. "I am now a fully paid-up poof," said Parkin.
