I Think That Went Well !

Well yesterday's show went generally ok! I have had loads of great feedback, and......drumroll please.....tada (the programme guide for The Cat)

They gave me a regular slot!!!!!!

Big Day

I only just realised I haven't blogged about something really important!! Today, Wednesday 27th October 5-7pm, I will be doing my own radio show on The Cat. This is like a trial show, to see if I am good enough to be given my own regular show. Please listen in, its internet radio.
This is what I am facing...

Scary innit?
If you are able to catch the show, and think I do ok, please email office@thisisthecat.com to let them know, and maybe I'll get my own show :)

Things have been crazy mad here lately. Both girls have had concerts, there's been Worm Charming, Zoe has had 3 music exams (Grade 3 Theory, Grade 3 Clarinet and Grade 2 Singing), plus Zoe's off to Paris tomorrow on a concert tour with the school choir so I've been helping her with all her stuff for that. They're going to be singing at Disney and The Eiffel Tower and are back friday.
