THANK YOU FOR THE BEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR 🎺 🎵 🎙️ ❤️

I just wanted to say thank you to kaihoffmanjazz and every volunteer involved for creating such a special weekend for us every year, but especially this year.

We could have been anywhere in the world but we were lucky enough to have such a spectacle brought to our little town. All the fun and no commute. 

The quality of the acts was superb, this event really does bring a richness to us and I’m so grateful. I urge everyone to support and donate to next years hernebayjazz festival.

EVER SO TIRED

I’ve always taken on a lot, like the time when I worked full time and did full time acting training, or like when I worked full time and did a month long run of shows every night or like when I worked full time in london and Little Pep in Herne Bay on the weekends or like that time I started a new business and a masters at the same time. But just for the record, I’m pretty tired. I don’t have the stamina that I used to due to health issues and work a lot harder on looking after myself these days and occasionally try to ask for help or say no. But the last few weeks have been A LOT. 

What I’m asking for now is to help with the reward bit, which is the bit that spurs me on and makes it worth it. 

My last Sunday Story Live is this Sunday and I’d really love you to come along, enjoy a glass of wine and the show. Or to come to the plays next week. Much blood sweat and tears have gone into them and I’d really love them to be seen and enjoyed. 

Links to everything in my bio or message me for details. And a share or comment would go a long way. 

Thanks everyone, have a wonderful  weekend.
