'The Voice is the Muscle to the Soul' – Roy Hart
OK, hands up, I’m a Trekkie, from before the time that term was even created and seeing as the new Star Trek movie is to be released, I thought about what it means for me today to ‘Boldly go where I’ve never been before!’ I see myself as a relatively conservative risk taker, at least […]
Like most people, I always start things with the best of intentions and todays post is another one of those. It’s a chance for me, once a month, at least, to let you know what I’m up to! I’m terrible for keeping up with what I do, I’m one of those people who does a […]
I don’t know about you, but I love Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. They are brilliant to watch and the latest 1 is with Jennifer Lopez, check it out here. How do they do it? Why do we watch it? Despite having no audience, they still make us want to watch them. Now, editing has […]
