Review: Avenue Q at Theatre Severn
19 Feb 2016
To be in a musical you have to be a fantastic actor and an excellent singer. But to be in Avenue Q you also have to be a brilliant puppeteer. And the whole cast at Theatre Severn last night were all three. I kept wondering whether I should be looking at the humans or the puppets – truth is, it […]

Abba tribute for Macmillan
16 Feb 2016
I’ve always been a closet Abba fan and I think if I’d be a teenager in the 1970s, I would have been completely obsessed with them. As it was, I was a late 1990s teenager so an eclectic mix of Alanis Morissette, Eternal and Boyzone ruled the day. I would love to have seen Abba on tour but the group […]
