Well, a few weeks ago I was  honoured  by being asked to perform at the stunning Variety Club Gala in front of HRH Prince and Princess Michael of Kent at London's Guildhall.

The evening was one of the most enjoyable I’ve ever had; I created an arrangement of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue for solo piano and 10 piece band and had a lot of fun playing it! 

After the performance, I was treated to a wonderful mean with wonderful company – Gloria Hunniford and Stephen Way, Mike and Anita Harris, Kaplan Kaye to name but a few. And Bill, thank you so much for persuading me to become more involved with Variety; I plan to help as much as I possibly can.  Just think, you should have at least 60 years of me (one would hope anyway)…  Some might say that’s a bad thing!
