So, how have you all been?? Please do stop by and tell me. Sorry, I've been away so long, but facebook is a terrible thing.. You get poked, take quizzes of absolutely no sense or value, flick through peoples photos ( some of whom you don't even know), and are constantly waiting for the next status updates, and all the threads attached to it!!!!!Aaargh! And then you go back for more!! HELP, I think I need therapy...Or a week in Ireland with my family should sort it out

That's where  I am off to on Friday 28th. Yep, I'm loading the PA and the dresses in the car and driving off into the sunset, well to Holyhead, to catch the ferry home. SO, it'll be a few days with the family, before the crazy little Irish tours kicks off, on 3rd September.

AND what a kick off. Our first gig is in Pedigree Corner, a place where I spent a lot of my time in my teenage years, and did  a lot of things that teenagers do, and more probably.. Pedigree is the place you take out life insurance for just to walk through the door, and if you survive, you will convert to the first available religion....

Seriously, I cannot wait to do this gig. My mother and her friend Brid have been working flat out, selling tickets and making 'hang sandwiches' (the Irish among you will appreciate the importance of the Ham sandwich).. So many fabulous people from my life to date will be there.. It will be wonderful

Then, it's off to Monaghan for the HARVEST BLUES FESTIVAL for 3 Days, where I will be introducing myself to  TIM LANGFORD (Too Slim & the Taildraggers), cos BLUES BOSS told me to.. He is after all the Blues Boss. He also took some fine photos of me at Swing Mon Amour CHECK THEM OUT when he was in London. Lovely, lovely Man...

Our last gig in Ireland is in Whelan's, Dublin. Great venue, and I'm a little scared playing there ( BM scared I hear you say... Well, yep I am) What if nobody comes?? Well I know people will come, but what if enough people don't come...So, do me a favour and tell all your Irish friends out our gig in Whelans on 8th September, please...

I can't see the flyers, I have attached, but I know Spider fromCOLOSSUS has... maybe he really does have super powers... Hope you can see them too, they give all the details for Ireland.

I do have a couple of reviews I want to share with you, but I think I've rambled long enough for first blog back, so I will post them separately
