Dressed for an Out-Door Concert!

It’s business as usual as I’ve been adapting my shows to suit the on going Covid restrictions. This week I’ve performed in all sorts of scenarios including a marque between half open french windows and also in a hair dressing salon.

Next weekend I shall be performing my Halloween show on the 31st October as a Driveway Concert which I’m looking forward to very much. I’m also keeping my fingers crossed that my Guy Faulks “Blazeaway Show” will be going ahead too. For the last few weeks I’ve been rehearsing my songs and I’m looking forward to singing my new “Wizard of Oz” medley which I commissioned especially for my Halloween “Fly me to the Moon” show.

It had been my intention to produce a virtual DVD of my Christmas show, but after doing some research into the care home market many have lost their activities budgets and in some cases are now down to a skeletal staff.

this lock down continues into 2021 I plan to continue with by Driveway Concerts which have been extremely popular.
