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.

- THE DUBLIN LEGENDS AT SUTTON COLDFIELD TOWN HALL.It's always a great pleasure to catch up with my old friends, the Dublin Legends and to hear once again their repertoire of songs, music and stories from over the years. The beautiful Town Hall in Sutton Coldfield was the location for my latest encounter with them and it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, as Gerry, Sean, Paul and Shay (left to right in the accompanying photo) had us...
- "TWELVE ANGRY MEN" AT LICHFIELD GARRICKThe original film of "Twelve Angry Men," starring the legendary Henry Fonda, was one of my late father's favourites and I was delighted to hear that the stage adaptation was coming to the Garrick. This is an excellent production, which captures brilliantly all the tension and drama of the debate among the jurors as to whether or not the youth concerned is guilty of the murder of his...
- "SEVEN DRUNKEN NIGHTS-THE STORY OF THE DUBLINERS" AT LICHFIELD GARRICK.As someone who has followed the music of the Dubliners since childhood, it's always a pleasure to catch up with my good friend, Ged Graham's musical, which takes us through their amazing 50 year career. There is a great atmosphere and I never tire of hearing the songs and stories that tell the remarkable tale of a group who did so much to broaden the appeal of Irish folk music, beginning...
- "JOHNNY CASH ROADSHOW " AT PRINCE OF WALES, CANNOCK.As a lifelong admirer of the work of Johnny Cash, I was looking forward to seeing this highly acclaimed show and I was not to be disappointed. The whole evening was a great reminder of the lasting quality of Cash's songs and Clive Johns looked and (especially) sounded the part in bringing these to life and telling Johnny's fascinating story. Clive was accompanied by a group of excellent...

- "THE SORCERER" AT THE OLD REP, BIRMINGHAMThe annual production by the Birmingham Savoyards at the Old Rep is always something to be looked forward to and this year's was no exception. I had watched excerpts from "The Sorcerer" before, but had never seen it live. The whole evening was a pleasure and as usual, combined the witty song lyrics of W.S. Gilbert with the melodic music of Sir Arthur Sullivan, interspersed with...

- "THE SORCERER"At an early age, my late mother introduced me to the delightful light operettas of W.S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. It's always a pleasure to attend the annual production by the Birmingham Savoyards and I am really looking forward to my first live viewing of "The Sorcerer" next week. Watch this space for a review and if you can, get along to see it for yourself.
