Today I have been performing my ATS show at my old school – Leighton Middle School and I have to say I think this was the best one yet!
 I’ve been going into schools for six years now and I’ve developed a special show for children which is more educasual based bringing in  facts about WW2, and how events infulenced the musical styles of the time. I always worry a bit before hand as I like to make sure my lesson plan is fun and will get the children motavated. No worries today as we had a ball although I felt a bit sorry for the French mistress who was struggling with “Mairzy Doats and Dozy Doats”. I think the favourite was “Yes we have no Bananas” because I give the children actions to do and it ties in with rationing!
Such Fun!
A big thank-you to Miss Short for inviting me. Miss short taught me music when I was at Leighton Middle and if it wasn’t for her I probably wouldn’t be a professional singer today. When I first came to the school I wanted so much to be in the school plays and do drama but because of my dislexia I couldn’t read the scripts so I was unable to take part. Thanks to Miss Short I joined the choir and before I knew it I was singing solos and dancing instead! Thank-you Miss Short I owe you alot – as music has played such an important part in my life ever since!
Don’t forget you can catch me tomorrow at Woburn Abbey singing all day for the Vintage Christmas Fair. I can’t quite deside which outfit to wear as I have a new 40s suit with knock-em dead shoulders and the hat pictured does look rather good with it. On second thoughts it might look a bit too manly as I do like to wear a tie with it so maybe something softer would look better. Oh I don’t know something will sugest it’s self no dout. I hope you can make it along – see you tomorrow and Toodle Pip!www.Vintagechristmasboutique.com
