Sometimes
When you were a new-born, life was different then. My arms would hold you tight,Sometimes hours on end.I remember singing softly, So only you could hear.It always got your attention.Sometimes, stopping any tears.

Finally…I feel like a performer.
In more ways than one… In the show Her and the Change in Me, I talk about how my journey started in performing. Without giving any spoilers away, it started around seven years ago. I received a phone call from BBC Eastenders set to supply a beer tap and a keg for the night club. […]

Opening Night
This is the second time I have written and performed a one woman show. My first show was called Red Hat No Nickers telling the life story of Dolly Slatemen. It is something I will go back to as I feel I haven’t quite finished it, a bit like when you’ve started a book and never […]
