Christmas Tea Dance hosted by Ludlow's Royal British Legion
Here we are the 9 piece, what a photogenic lot we are ?? This was a wonderful event that we played at on the 24th November hosted by the very talented Golden Goose Events run by Mandi and Tessa. It was a Christmas Soiree in aid of Hope House and Air Ambulance. There were nine different stalls all selling beautiful Christmas gifts and decorations and even handy decorating tips for this festive time of the year. We played a mixture of music from Jazz Ballads, foot tapping 20s, well known Motown songs and of course some favourite Christmas Songs. When we had our break we were well looked after with a very tasty meal of Salmon or Chicken. So now we are well and truly in the mood for Christmas!

A few weeks ago I had a telephone call from Eluned who works for the Shropshire Review Magazine asking if I would be interested in being interviewed for an ariticle in their Magazine, obviously I jumped at the chance fame at last:))and as presently it is not available (yet) right across the Shropshire region I thought I would pop it on here. I picked up my copy of the magazine in Bridgnorth and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised not just by the article but also the magazine what a great read! and its FREE. I'm really looking forward to it being made available in my area of the county incidentally South Shropshire.
