He's got the whole world in his hands!

I am sat watching Celtic hold their own against Villareal drinking a glass of port preparing myself for what should be a very busy day tomorrow in the recording studio. As every singer knows, it is important to relax the larynx with a drop of the medicinal stuff. That's my excuse and I shall stick to it.
The last couple of weeks have been terrific, the wedding in Congleton was amazing. The act went down so well with Claire's guests, it was really difficult to continue with the dialogue after every song, as they just went mad with standing ovations. I can only say that it is nice to be appreciated.
The wedding fayre at Cranage Hall was extremely successful, we met some lovely people and took quite a few enquiries (which have turned into bookings).
We were situated next to a young lady called Kate Clarkson @ Get Ahead Hats, who was lovely. If you ever need a Hat you know where to go. We became really good friends and had a really good laugh.
Villareal have just scored! Bugger!
Anyway, we laughed our heads off, because Craig got roped into being a model in the Fashion show. I have to say, he was really good, in fact, he was a natural. The reason it was so amusing, was because the other boys were spotty teenagers, so, Craig, being the Handsome bugger that he is, stood out a mile and made for much excitement with the ladies. How we laughed.

Friday was fun, we were at The Atheneum Club, nr Southend in Essex. I encourage you to search it in Google, because it is Incredible. We were top of the bill, it was a long day and we were not on until 10.45, but it was really really good fun. Everyone seemed to love it, and, there were a few tears, which I hope is a sign of enjoyment.

Some Fantastic news, Craig has spent the last two years writing a musical called 'Lift' with his writing partner Ian Watson. Well the show is being produced with a cast of Actors and will be performed at Trafalgar Studios from Tuesday 25 to Saturday 29 November. Amazing news. I am really proud and pleased for him. He's walking on cloud 9, it's brilliant.

Hopefully, we can get him writing a blog next.

Take care all.

A busy weekend ahead

I am sat here at the end of a long week, looking forward to a weekend in Cheshire. Saturday sees us performing an Arias Anonymous gig at a wedding in Congleton and then we have the wedding Fayre at Cranage Hall, Holmes Chapel.

We had a fantastic rehearsal today for our next Il Voci Celesti gig, which will take place next Friday in Essex. We have a new boy singing with us, the very experienced James Spilling. What an amazing voice!! It is an absolute pleasure to have him on board. He is fresh from singing for Andrew Lloyd Webber at his birthday celebrations with Lee Mead, John Barrowman, Maria Friedman, Jason Donovan et al. You can hear the concert on Radio 2 on the 10th October, if you fancy it.

Have a great weekend!!

Well, it's been a long time in coming, but finally our new website is up and running. I am absolutely delighted with the look and content. It's taken a lot of hard work, phone calls, trips up and down the M1 to my beloved Yorkshire. Craig Adams, who i've known for years, and we even lived together in what seemed like squaller when we had just left Drama School, is a teriffic person and i'm just thrilled he decided to come on board in the first place, as my business partner and form Elegant Entertainment.

A lot of Thanks and praise must go to LJ Urbani who has designed our website, he has put up with us calling at all hours, without complaint and pandering to our every need.

I hope you like the video of 'The Leadig Ladies' on the blog page. We will have the rest of the video footage on the website shortly. Also of interest, we will be going into the recording studio shortly to record our first CD. I guess you could say we are recording an album. You will be able to listen to snippets of every song, like on itunes.

Bye for now.
