Musical

Listen to Sweaty Eddies voice and your understand that a muscial is now in a class of its own. We are talking Sister Act here. I've seen it three times and not once has it let me down.
By the end I feel like I've been in a film, with the wonderful set that moves from a convent to a side street.

I love musicals and now they are becoming more and more popular with the whole film to stage thing going on. Look at 'Ghost' for example coming to London next year We're hiring more and more fab talent in fact I don't think audiences would settle for anything less, that would defo be a walk out if someone sang just a tad off.

Flashdance comes as Sister Act will be taking off to America :( But I've seen Flashdance five times and will be seeing it again for the sixth time in Nov! I am very excited that they have Victoria playing the lead again, she helped me come out, I saw her and boom, I danced I sang, I moved my body in ways I did not know, I was letting go finally and becoming the person I had hidden for such a long time. This was my coming out moment, it helped me release a desire for dance too. My mate Becks can lighten you on that subject. She has seen me dance to maniac!

But are we pushing the oldies out, do you think audiences will still want to see old time musicals, ones that few people have heard of,the music hall days or are we pushing more and more for new music. I hope not, we need to preserve and share for future generations the old stuff too.

Please comment and let me know what your fave musical is..

'I don't need a spotlight, I don't need a crowd, I don't need the great wide world to shout my name out loud. Don't need fame or fortune, nice as those things are, I've got all I need, to make me feel like I'm a star.

I've got my sisters by my side, I've got my sisters love and pride and in my sisters eyes I recognize, the star I want to be. And with my sisters standing strong, I'm on the stage where I belong, and nothin's ever gonna change that fact.

I'm part of one terrific Sister Act' :)

The beginning of something good

Here we are folks in Sept, when wearing chunky jumpers and walking over the heath in Hampstead and stopping for hot choc makes me feel all nice inside, even nicer when your doing it with a friend or partner talking about the nice things to come in the autumn months.

I am very much looking forward to Thanksgiving, I'm not religious in any way, but the joys of making fresh corn bread and pumpkin pie and sitting round a table with friends and sharing food and good times really make me feel great. Then we have Halloween and bonfire night. love it , love it , love it.

But before all that cold weather starts to hit, I am off to Spain for that last bit of sunshine, there is something v nice too about jetting off just before the cold comes and also after Christmas when it hits us worse. I would love to just be somewhere hot from Jan onwards for 6 months and then come back for Easter and all for the nice blooms.


I've just involved myself in a charity for Supporting Victims of "Corrective Rape" in south Africa and while I write this my friend Becky has gone out to join Ndumie in her township and talk with her and give her some provisions. I'm extremely grateful for her doing this and just from reading about Ndumie in The Observer and then emailing her, we are now moving forward in helping her raise money. I'm so pleased this has happened so quickly. I am also designing a t-shirt for her and will be donating all funds to the charity. Please keep your eyes peeled on the fb page and the website.

So take a deep breath or say a prayer, throw away your shit that's been stuck inside for so long and let go...

Happy Autumn people.
