Ladies Day Is Just Fabulous!
The warm, witty and rather wonderful Ladies Day had its press night at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre last night and proved to be a smash hit with the audience. The stellar ensemble cast were clearly having a ball with the play written by Amanda Whittington and originally set in Hull, but now with action transferred to Wolverhampton, with a starry cameo from the legendary Tony Christie. Ladies Day makes you laugh, shed a tear and enjoy singing along. It doesn’t really put a foot wrong. The story starts in a fish packing factory where Jan, Linda, Shelley and Pearl are deciding what to do to give Pearl a send off…

In general, Meghan opts of clean lines and tends to avoid patterns which could swamp her tiny frame. She uses bright colours sparingly, opting for neutrals and more muted shades, and wearing more black than is usually seen on members…

My Favourite Photographers

I consider myself to be a decent amateur photographer, with a real interest in beautiful buildings, nature and candid shots. But as much as I love taking photographs, there are just some occasions that call for a professional. This is especially true when it come to portrait photography. Composure, lighting and staging are all so important to getting the right shot, and it maybe that for a special portrait, a trip to a studio is required. Bidvine is a great way to find the right professional for…

Ladies Day – A Chat With The Cast
Today’s the day! Ladies Day, Amanda Whittingham’s hit comedy, opens at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre for a two week run. Earlier this week I let the ensemble cast, Cheryl Fergison, Emma Rigby, Deena Payne, Roisin O Neill and Sean McKenzie, introduce their characters, and today I’m sharing a little more of our chat, which took place at the Newhampton Arts Centre last week, Fashion-mommy: What attracted you to Ladies Day? Deena: Well, it was originally written about Hull, all the characters were Northern. I just think it combines all the elements, Joy, the excitement of the races, lots of emotion. It is just fantastic to play in, and I love…
