TW Juniors Christmas Cracker!

After only 4 weeks of saturday morning work shops, working on a christmas performance,

 The youngsters pulled it off! bless them all ,they did so well may of been upstaged by the baby ballet!

which of coarse was very sweet! but they pulled it together... so proud how far they have come in their first term...

When I think how some were so shy could hardly speak..and to perform  in front of a audience  takes some doing...

Very touched by Maddison and Marco who even wrote

 their own stories... so endearing! feel like a proud dad!

they all have touched my heart.... all of them so different....sweet bunch and actually are very nice to each other and caring which is lovely to see...and they look out for each other......and me.. bless em.... x

Christingle! at Phil winston's Theatreworks

Phil Winston's Theatreworks presented 'Christingle' A evening with all the students in studio 1 which was transformed into a fabulous performance space, intimate a great place for any try outs.. and performances,
The students upped the game with a full host of witty and festive songs and sketches, with the debut performance of the first years in the end of their first term, who did remarkable well, some terrific talent to watch out for.
Enjoyed seeing the second and third years who's confidence grows and performance skills shine...I take my hat of to all involved in putting on "Christingle" To see the college give a performance 'out of the box '
Its now officially the festive season!

NFA AT CHRISTMAS PARTY AT ST JAMES'S PALACE!

Lovely day spent at St James's Palace for the Not Forgotten Association Charity.

Dougie Produced the christmas show  and it really puts you in the mood that christmas is just around the corner!

How lovely to was to see the choir singing by a 20ft tree as you entered, really stunning singing..

Then with all the entertainers and performers that were there made it very special.....

Great to see Robert Meadmore and what a fabulous voice he has .. fantastic as ever..

Lovely to see Anita Harris looking stunning.. and Mike, The Jack pack were terrific.. stunning guys and voices not bad either!!!  Carl Scofield great act... the rap is brilliant! ..Sweet Heart Sisters and all the others were fab!

I had to introduce the artists to Her Royal Highness the Countess of Wessex, she was so charming...natural 

and lovely to everyone...To see the ex service men and women plus it all back to perspective... so humbling....

So proud of Dougie, he just has the right way of dealing with shows in all aspects....calm collected and with tremendous respect....oh and forgot to say Billy Differ as Father Christmas is Christmas!
