Dear All,
Welcome to my Newsletter for September, via the "new" mailing list.
If you're reading this, then everything has transfered across nicely and all is well. I wanted to make it easier for people to sign up, and also unsubscribe from the list should they wish too, and this new system is much more straightforward and will help with that.
I have had a lot going on over the past few months, and September & October are looking fairly hectic. I've listed below some of the projects I've been involved in recently, followed by all the news of my upcoming gigs - right up to Christmas!

All the best

Any further details will appear on the News page, and any clips that become available will also be on the website.
 New WestEnders show launches
I am currently in rehearsals with The WesteEnders for the launch of their brand new show - Strictly West End on 9th October in Port Talbot. The show combines the music of the West End with the magic of Ballroom Dance, and should be a great night out. Check The WestEnders.com for more details, and further dates and venues.
WestEnders in India
Following the launch of the new show, I will be heading with the WestEnders to Goa, India for a number of theatre shows. These will be at various venues from the 10th to the 22nd October.

After a short break over the summer "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" - a celebration of the music of Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand - continues touring throughout the rest of the year, and details of the confirmed dates at which I will be appearing are on the 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers' News page.
