I have lived in England for over 20 years, but am Northern Irish to the core (and also love the Irish Republic). I am responsible for putting together our Ireland Guides and as Reviews Editor, I get the chance to see some great concerts and shows . Fridays usually find me taking part in our Music Academy. I am also a Church Minister and Parish Councillor and am on the Leadership Team of my congregation. In my spare time, I am often found beside a race track, watching all forms of motorsport, at my local cinema, or with a guitar round my neck, writing and playing songs.

"CAKE INTERNATIONAL"/"CREATIVE CRAFT SHOW"/"SIMPLY CHRISTMAS" AT THE N.E.C.One of the things that I look forward to at this time of the year, is the annual visit to this exciting event which effectively combines three shows in one. Each year, Halls 17-20 at the N.E.C. are packed with amazing cakes, delightful crafts and all sorts of tempting goodies to be purchased. I will hold up my hands immediately and admit that I am no expert on either baking or crafting and so...2 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 349 Views 0 Προεπισκόπηση

"THE MANFREDS" AT WYCOMBE SWANAs a small boy in the mid 'sixties, I first heard Manfred Mann classics such as "5,4,3,2,1," "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy" and "Pretty Flamingo." i have always enjoyed these and many other songs from the band's repertoire and also remember as a 'seventies teenager, appreciating the work of Manfred Mann's Earthband. For many years now, The Manfreds have been performing those early hits, with...0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 337 Views 0 Προεπισκόπηση

"THE UPBEAT BEATLES" AT LICHFIELD GARRICKAs I was only 2 years old when The Beatles played in Belfast in 1963, I was unable to see them actually perform live. Over the years, I have managed to watch various well known tribute bands and have enjoyed all their shows. My latest outing, to see The Upbeat Beatles at my regular haunt, the Lichfield Garrick, was another very enjoyable experience and a reminder of the amazing contribution...0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 343 Views 0 Προεπισκόπηση

"PAIRC SUMMER SERIES 2025"The highlight of the August Bank Holiday weekend for me is always the opportunity to attend the Pairc and to give a review. Over the years, I have enjoyed the atmosphere and been entertained by some great artists and this year's event was no exception. Day One began with a performance from Jack Banting to get the crowd going and this was followed by the ever popular Father Teds, with...0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 3χλμ. Views 0 Προεπισκόπηση1

"VAN MORRISON AT 80"Northern Ireland's legendary singer/songwriter Sir George Ivan Morrison (affectionately known throughout the world as "Van the Man") recently celebrated his 80th birthday with a series of concerts in his native Belfast. These culminated in 2 nights at the city's famous Waterfront Hall, in which he gave a rendition of a variety of songs both old and new and was accompanied by his daughter, Shana...0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 3χλμ.

"PAIRC SUMMER SERIES" PREVIEWEvery summer, I head to the grounds of the Irish Centre in Kings Heath, Birmingham, to enjoy a weekend of music and culture from all over the island of Ireland. Down through the years, I have witnessed many great acts and the lineup for this year is exceptional as usual. Saturday is headlined by The Sawdoctors (whom I have enjoyed seeing many times ), along with The Undertones (taking me back...5 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 4χλμ. Views 0 Προεπισκόπηση

"SEX BOMB" AT LICHFIELD GARRICKIt's hard to believe that 60 years have passed since Tom Jones (now, of course, Sir Tom) burst on to the music scene with his first hit "It's Not Unusual." "Sex Bomb" is a celebration of his long and distringuished career, presented by Andy Wood (aka "Benidorm Tom"), who sings, looks and speaks just like the man himself. I had the opportunity recently to see the show at my regular...1 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 4χλμ. Views 0 Προεπισκόπηση

"SUPPORTING ST. BASILS"For many years now, I have taken an active interest in the work of St. Basils, a charity which supports homeless young people in the city of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. Having been homeless myself with a young family in the 1990's, I am only too aware of the trauma which this can cause and am keen to do whatever I can to alleviate this ongoing problem. Last November, we...0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 5χλμ. Views 0 Προεπισκόπηση

"THE SEARCHERS THANK YOU TOUR 2025" AT LICHFIELD GARRICKEver since I was a small boy in the 1960's, The Searchers have been one of my favourite groups and I have enjoyed seeing them perform live on several occasions, as well as being the proud owner of the cd box set of all their original Pye Records from those halcyon days. I last attended a Searchers concert in 2018, shortly before their first attempt to retire from touring and didn't expect...0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 4χλμ. Views 0 Προεπισκόπηση4

"THE MCCARTNEY SONGBOOK" AT LICHFIELD GARRICKI arrived at Lichfield Garrick last Wednesday (incidentally, the 83rd birthday of Sir Paul McCartney), only to hear the sad news of the passing a few months ago of Pete Jackson, creator and founder of the McCartney Songbook. My thoughts and prayers go out to all concerned in their sad loss, but I am delighted that Pete's wife, Hollie, has decided that the show must go on and it was an honour to...0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 4χλμ.

"SEVEN DRUNKEN NIGHTS--THE STORY OF THE DUBLINERS" AT THEATRE SEVERN, SHREWSBURY.For several years now, my good friend, Ged Graham, has been taking "Seven Drunken Nights--The Story Of The Dubliners" around the theatres of the British Isles. It has been a pleasure to see this show in a variety of places and to look back over the musical influence which The Dubliners have had in my own life since my 1960's childhood. The show tells the story of the group from their...0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 4χλμ. Views 0 Προεπισκόπηση

"PRIDE & PREJUDICE (SORT OF) " AT LICHFIELD GARRICKI have always enjoyed seeing film and theatre productions of Jane Austen's famed novel "Pride And Prejudice" and was looking forward to this alternative version. The very name "Pride & Prejudice (Sort Of)" suggested that it might be somewhat different from what we are used to and to be sure, it was, but at the same time, sticking closely to Austen's original characters and the basic...0 Σχόλια 0 Μοιράστηκε 5χλμ.
