I had a wonderful weekend staying with a friend, the highlight of which had to be an evening @oldvictheatre.bsky.social I have truly fallen in love with their backstage bar and script library (I need something like this nearer to me) the production of A Christmas Carol was magnificent ❤️

With over 200 shows in my catalogue and more each week, it seems a shame not to try and make a little bit of a living from it.
Any small stations out there that want a bit of content to fill a gap, I have a relatively inexpensive specialist weekly show ready for you.

I always love it when a show makes no.1 in the Mixcloud musicals chart. It isn't the most competitive chart out there, but there are other shows with a much bigger machine behind them. This is just me, all done for the love of it for over 4 years now!

What do you think, a little featurette this week? Can I possibly write what I would like to by tomorrow night? I could get lost in this lot for months.

The streamer service that hosts Radio Abbey is undergoing reconstruction so we are going through Mixcloud this week. Sarah, the station manager will stream it live, but it's already up there if anyone fancies it.

I love this. The Tree House Bookshop sponsors Showtune and always plays the live broadcast in the shop. She often has customers singing along😅❤️❤️
Musicals bring out the fun in people!

Had a perfectly wonderful day with a stroll in Regent's Park and an evening enjoying the fabulous vocals of Julian Ovenden.
And then I got to Euston to find my train cancelled and I'm stranded in London overnight. Thank goodness for a wonderful friend who doesn't mind an unplanned visit!

Another Saturday, another National Trust visit, another 2nd hand Bookshop and another failure to save any money! Not altogether sure how much they'll help with research either, but I look forward to reading them. I may resell the Evita one after reading it to recoup some costs.

Yes, but only slightly, you have to get in close. Look what it gave me last month. Such a joy.

2 years ago for the 100th show I cheekily messaged a host of Musical Theatre Names and asked them what song they would request on a radio show. 4 wonderful people actually replied.
The rest of the show was results of a survey of favourite shows per decade
