I was on the bus when it happened. We were ordered off and the women began to scream. One man was sitting at the back singing. Perhaps he was in shock. I had to drag him and only when I agreed to harmonise with him did he manage to disembark.

When the fire started, one man refused to leave.
"Only if you sing wid me, harmonise me melody he said before resuming his unrequited performance.
So two complete strangers walked together from the burning bus; a meek tenor and a soft baritone blending Marley's Redemption Song onto the Archway Road.
