cancer fundraising
Here is a selection of some of the photos I’ve already been sent of people with their copies of A New Dawn. It’s always a fun way to keep track of who has bought the album and help to spread the message about the release.
October is bound to be a month of reflection for me, especially for someone who has been a chronic overthinker in the past. Removing all the horrendous going on in the UK and the wider world at the moment, the last 12 months has been a time of great change for me. Certainly as far as mental health goes and I am much the better for it. Work in progress, but hopefully taking steps in the right direction. I am sure I will be speaking more about this during the next few weeks.
A massive and heartfelt thanks to Stuart Ling, A1 photographer, who captured the moment recently in Dyserth, North Wales during the Love Hope Strength beach hike weekend, when Steve ‘Smiley’ Barnard, drummer with The Alarm, gave my album a Bob Geldof Live Aid-esque like ringing endorsement during his set on the Friday night.
I met Steve Norman from Spandau Ballet almost 4 years ago, in Brighton with his partner Sabrina Winter, for The Record. That meeting and their inclusion in the book has led to me making lots of new friendships on social media and I’ve had some terrific support for my fundraising as a result. Friday night finally gave me the perfect opportunity to see Steve and his band The Sleevz play live at The Whitty Theatre in Wokingham, which is only a 15 minute drive from Reading.
