Alright!
Hope your all keeping well,
Last Thursday the 24th November the importance of music and
performance was demonstrated in a show I went to see at the National Opera
House Wexford. My son took part in SING
OUT LOUD 2022 which is a fantastic opportunity for Children. It had been the
first opportunity in 2 years as during the pandemic two shows had been cancelled
which brought home that the children of those years have lost out on such a
fantastic opportunity. The vision is to give kids an opportunity to fall in
love with music and theatre.

This got me thinking about what our lives where like pre pandemic we took it for granted how easy it was for us to go see or be part of a shows, catch a live band and performance. The pandemic changed this and it only now that we are getting to bring this part of our lives back.
tickets booked in 2019 for shows have been rescheduled YES.
The entertainment industry like all other industries took a
nock but it is getting back on its feet slowly. Helping this industry back on
its feet can be as simple as buying a ticket to see the local Christmas show.
Helping children experience what it is like to go see or be part of a show.
I was super impressed by Sing Out Loud - even more so as just for me the last song of the evening sent out the message that I live my life By - that right folks !
The children raised the roof with 'Always Look in the Bright Side '

It was a beautiful evening of talented professionals and a choir of Superstars - Children from schools across Wexford.
I recall when at Westbury on Trym Primary School in Bristol
one Christmas being a Wise Man (Nothing change there I am still a wise man) - I
recall feeling confident this was also an opportunity to get close to the girl
of my heart. At the time she was 'dating' one of my best friends Moose serious
stuff at 10 years old. My effort in the play paid off a few months later she
dumped Moose and I 'dated' her for 7 months. (More on my early romantic
relationships later not enough time today). The Moose and I eventually moved on
to not sharing girlfriends.
