Looking to the future

Hello everyone,thanks for visiting my new website .I love the new format and everything about it.I'm so grateful to Benjamin Gough for working so hard on it these past few weeks.
My week has been fairly quiet,just finishing off website stuff and trying to get my e-mail problems sorted out which has taken ages! My broadband supplier doesn't like the fact that i get your e-mails thru my domain so has put a spanner in the works.
I'm still making enquiries about where to have the Victoria Project gig here in hastings sometime this autumn .I promised to do a charity performance for this worthy charity that raises money to educate poor Guatemalans.After watching "The Motorcycle Diaries" on Film 4 last night,a great film about Che Guevara, it has made me even more determined to help.
that's all for now
love

My next Gig

Hello dear friend, thanks for visiting.Hope you are well.I just thought I'd tell you about my next gig.

Friday September 29th Cafe Belge High Street Battle East Sussex 8pm

I met Gary Vandenbuche and his wife Janet when our kids were at the same school.Gary had his own record label for a while and used to put on gigs in South London and Kent.His father owned a very successful gastro pub near Hever Castle in Kent and asked Gary and Janet to take it over.They found they had a flair for running restaurants and opened their first one in Bexhill East Sussex in 2002.Since then they have gone from strength to strength and now have 5 all over the county!His father would be very proud to see their achievements. I'll be singing solo in Battle but hopefully will be joined by the wonderful Phil Hudson on guitar when we play for Gary at his Eastbourne restaurant on Friday. November 29th

My last Gig - Feedback

My last gig was a strange one!I had a phonecall from a guy called Victor who said he was putting on a gig to support Hastings Pier.He said my friend Pete Prescott had suggested me!Well always one to do my bit, of course i said Yes.I knew Pete and our friend Phil Hudson would be there so i would have a nice time.Lovely Anita was there too but unfortunately the rotton weather had kept all but a few die hards from turning up.We soldiered on regardless and just as we finished the heavens opened again.The good news is that at last the owners of the pier have brought in a specialist company to test the strength of the structure and provide the council with the info they need.Maybe now we'll get some answers.

In the evening I played at a party for my friend Glen.I took along a couple of friends, Sandra and Emma and we all had a wonderful time... I had requests for "fields of gold" and the "first time ever i saw your face". I also played one of my new songs "bossa nova baby"thanks Glen, see ya next year!
