A few days ago l had to present my musical plans to a panel of four business people from the The Prince's Trust..and l passed! ******* this means that for the next three years l can continue to concentrate on my music....writing, performing and hopefully recording at some point again..as well as doing the music/singing sessions l run with groups of adults with learning disabilities(which l love doing*)...l am delighted-delighted!..
I now have a few weeks off to merrily galavant summer-ishly around with my daughter and l hope to come back with some performance dates for September... **

Right now with the Prince's Trust...

I have written how l am being supported by The Princes Trust..
At the moment l am going through this process(and a few courses*) of building a buisness plan to make my time and music more constructive*...this Website has been part of the process..and it is VERY much so in the 'development' stage*..so *please* bear(!) in there with me whilst l work over it and correct the spelling mistakes and words put together like speaking!..
