All Set For Stonehurst Farm's 1940s Weekend!

All Set and Ready to Sing!

Rule Britannia – Singing the Best of Proms!

Once again I’m fighting the clock to get everything ready in time for tomorrow when Paul and I will be heading off to perform for Stonehurst Farm and Motor Museum’s 1940s event, but more on that in a moment.

I’ve had an extremely busy week performing and squeezing in phone calls, paperwork, dress fittings along with the daily stress and strains of getting to my shows on time.

Those of you who follow me on face book may have already seen some of Harry’s beautiful photos. They arrived earlier this week and I have over 600 shots to go through. Harry has taken some wonderful shots as I engaged him and Suzanne to document my performance. It had

been my intention to stream the show live but sadly the Wifi at Bletchley Park can be intermittent so I thought a collection of still photos would be a better option. As it happens I couldn’t have wished for more and I look forward to sharing the video with you soon.

In the mean time I’ve been working every day and I’ve had a couple of Driveway Concerts this week which are always very enjoyable. It’s been a busy week of mixed style performances from the 1920s “Putting on the Ritz” to Patriotic Proms shows to the Swinging 50s, 60s & 70s. On Sunday I had every-one dancing in the street at

Fallowfield and now it’s full steam ahead as I get ready for Stonehurst Farm.
