The Perfect Arena for a Performance
I have to say over my career I have played in lots of unusual venues. Some I struggle to remember, others I try to forget. This week I’ve been to a couple of wonderful venues, one where I played a concert and to another where I hope I will get the chance to perform at some day in the future.
Storms, Secrets & A Special Bottle of Whisky

The story behind the new Mal Pope record ‘SO SAD’. How ‘You Are Not Alone’ helped save some lives..but didn’t quite tell the whole story. How one woman inspired the new record and the bravery it takes to walk away.

To ‘Save the Cinema’…and anything else, you’ve got to keep going!
The story of the lady, behind the story of the lady, who Saved the Cinema! The new SKY film ‘Save the Cinema’ tells the heart-warming tale of one woman who refuses to give up. This is the story of Lorraine King, the lady who wrote the film…who also never gave up.
I almost forgot why I was angry…the parties helped me remember.
