Blue Monday is around the corner. Yes its mid-January and some days it feels like its never going to end. But believe me there is good news…spring is coming!!

The old guys doing their bit to help those starting out

Today many of us will head to the Swansea dot Com Stadium with heavy hearts. This afternoon the whole club will join together to remember Vic Gomersall, one its true legends who sadly passed away earlier this week.

It’s been a very strange week. From St Paul’s in Sketty to the Prime Minister’s Question Time in the House of Commons

This is the week Christmas finally arrived for performers up and down the country. The sale of Vocalzones and fruit pastilles at shops close to theatres across the country has probably gone through the roof as singers and actors try their best to ward off what is ‘going around’ at the moment.

A few weeks ago I thought it would be good to put a video together and asked through social media if people would send me photographs of their loved ones that I could include. I was totally overwhelmed by the response. I also miscalculated the emotional impact putting together the song and video would have on me.

There is a chorus that we used to sing in Sunday School which has always stuck in my mind. ‘The wise man built his house upon the rock’. This weekend I’m hopefully helping to build on Good Foundations…The Swansea City AFC Foundation.

I’ve worked with the ‘Rising Stars’ on lots of occasions, so I sort of know what to expect and they never let me down. The only way I can describe the evening was as I chatted and danced and sang with the company I experienced pure JOY.

Amateur Dramatics is alive and kicking in Swansea and 3 of the largest and long standing companies are coming together next year for quite a spectacular production to mark the 40th Anniversary of the musical ‘Les Misérables’. Here’s how you can be a part of ‘Let the People Sing.’

The seasons will hopefully continue to change, and I expect I’ll still find my head full of questions and fears and doubts and worries but maybe this change of season I’ll take a lesson from my grandchildren. Maybe this time I’ll just enjoy the candy floss at the circus, the ice cream at Joes and the spooky cakes at Greggs.
