Me in My Favorite 1920s Red Hat!

Stepping Out!

It’s just a quick blog tonight as I’m in something of a transitional period. I’m still working every day and I just have a couple of days left to do all my Christmas shopping, cards and get ready for a very busy Christmas indeed. I’ve sold fifty shows for December so far and although I expect to loose the odd one along the way due to unforeseen circumstances and maybe the odd possible Covid lock down I still need to be ready for what ever the season throws at me.

Life is busy and now we’ve come out of the Remembrance season I’m filling the November gap with “The Magic of the Musicals” and songs from the 1950s, 60s & 70s. I can’t believe I start Christmas next week and on the 3rd & 4th December I’m in Birmingham singing at The Black Country Living Museum for their Victorian Christmas Nights.

Last Friday I was at Ashridge Golf Club singing for the members which was a lovely evening. I had a show before hand which is often the case with me working two shows back to back. I had been booked to perform a selection of songs from the 1940s, 50s, 60s & 70s and the evening couldn’t have gone better. Sadly I didn’t take any photos which is so unlike me but I guess I’ve been

too busy and concentrating on my shows to think about it.

Last week I launched my new Peaky Blinders inspired show-reel “That Man” and thank-you to every-one for your great feed back. It’s lovely to hear how much you have all been enjoying it and I’m looking forward to editing some of my other videos in the new year.

I also forgot to mention in my blog last week I was featured in Equity, my unions magazine in an article about “Taking Care of Show Business” all about the art of care home performance. I’ve

just had the PDFs through from Equity and when Karen my web-designer comes back from holiday I will have it added to my web-site so you can click on and read it.

As I’m short on photos this week I shall leave you with a few stills of me in my little red hat from my latest “That Man” show-reel.
