All Star Celebrity Gala
VARIETY SHOW
A long time ago I had the great pleasure of working on this show (as Executive Producer) alongside my friend Richard Hope-Hawkins.
One of my earliest memories of the production was being invited (along with Alison) to attend a "Meet and Greet The Cast" event that Richard had organised at an hotel in the North Devon resort of Instow.
The first member of the "cast" I met was the fantastic Jenny Hanley (tv presenter and radio host). At this introduction her first words to me were
"you smell nice, I love a man who smells nice!"
That "ice breaker" was the beginning of a friendship that still continues today and has been a filled with laughter all the way! The friendship has led to discover mutual friends, several radio interviews between us and a fair number of alcohol infused telephone calls.
The event that took place in the Queen's Theatre, Barnstaple, was a great success and Jenny and I were interviewed by Lantern Radio (North Devon's then local radio station) and that lead to me being offered my own radio show on two independent stations.
It was a superb event, in a great theatre, with a wonderful cast. I feel very honoured and proud to have been involved with such an amazing cast!
I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who was involved in making the show happen, to everyone who supported the production and helped us raise much needed funds and other items both during and long after the event.
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog!
Be safe, be careful and above all remember
Don’t Predict The Future - CREATE IT !
