Mission being accomplished…

Blog

Hello Everyone. I know it’s been a while. The last time I tried a vlog instead of a blog. I’m not sure if I will carry on doing these as it costs me around £150 a year to pay for this site and I’m not using it very much, but at the same time I […]

It’s been like being dragged through a hedge backwards.

Hello. It’s been ages since I’ve written a blog post and I’ve decided I’m going to do one a month from now on. The last one was just after the Women’s Institute convention in April, and since then a LOT has happened in my life. It’s been really quite stressful and I’m only just coming […]

Following my path and it feels good.

All I’ve ever wanted since I got into singing at the age of 15 (once I knew it was what I really wanted to do a year later) is sing. I’ve never wanted anything else. When my dad told me to work in a bank, and he shouted me down saying I was not going […]

Back to it…for 2024.

It’s that time to get going again but I don’t know about you, it feels like a wrench. This time last week I was in Seville and in ‘switch off’ mode. It doesn’t happen very often, where I get to just switch off and not care for a bit. I could go out and sit […]

A pause in proceedings…..

Hi Everyone. I hope you are all well. I should have been doing two shows this weekend. One in Brighouse and one in Nelson, but instead I’m like one of the many musicians out there, with all work cancelled and no idea when we will be doing our music thingy for people again. A big […]

Que sera, sera


Blog

We all know what’s going on so it’s very weird energy around. Do we keep going or do we stop things? It’s kind of shocked me a bit that so many things are being cancelled that are happening in a month or further away. I’ve never lived through anything like this virus and I just […]

Roll up, roll up, read all about it……


Blog

I write this blog every two weeks and my last blog I had just got laryngitis a few days before. I was meant to sing at my friends party in Belgium so that didn’t go ahead, and over the last two weeks I had to pull out of a concert for people in Blackburn, and […]

It’s an inside job….


Blog

It has not been an easy few weeks. OMG, it’s been like being dragged through a hedge backwards and I’m just coming out of it the other end, realising that it was me all along. Meeeeeeee. The stress in my head. The anxiety has been building up and building up. Fear. I honestly thought I […]

It’s been two years since I went on the road…….


Blog

I’m on the sofa recuperating from a busy week. I’m shattered. Feel like I’ve been whacked round the head with a hammer. I’ve been pretty stressed these last few weeks. The stress of getting people in and worrying about all the places I’ve booked, and not knowing if I can afford it all. I also […]

Nothing to lose….and everything to gain.


Blog

Hi Everyone, It’s Saturday night and I’m in front of the tv learning words at the same time. I sing for the boss of Disney in London at the end of the month at his retirement party. Peter, the boss, heard me sing outside Hammersmith station when I was still living in London and asked […]

By george I did it…….


Blog

I’m just on the train down to London and then on the Eurostar later over to Belgium. I’m singing at a dinner tomorrow and then will stay a few days and see friends, and then I sing in the stations in London and start rehearsing with my second pianist for my show, so it all […]

Have yourself a merry little christmas…


Blog

Hello. I’ve had a cracking day today. I’m sat in a friends place near Newport in Wales, where I am in my own episode of Gavin and Stacey listening to the accent around me. I love it. Dealt with crappy trains again running late (just tired of so many delays) from Manchester but I got […]

It’s doing my head in……..


Blog

I like the comedian Micky Flanagan. I love that he’s down to earth and a bit rough underneath it all. Like me really, but I want to do a shout like Micky Flanagan does in his shows. ‘IT’S DOING MY HEAD IN!!!!!!!!!’ I always want to be honest about things and not hide what’s going […]
