Marie And Rosetta Is A Triumph
Sister Rosetta Tharpe was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist, who today is referred to as “the original soul sister” and “the Godmother of rock and roll.” Her influence on some of the greatest musicians of all time cannot be ignored, the likes of Tina Turner, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix all revered Rosetta and her incredible playing style that was the true start of electric blues. Yet when she died, at the early age of 58, she was buried in an unmarked grave, forgotten by all but those who had loved her most. Now, Marie and Rosetta revisits the Rosetta story, as well as that…

I had a favourite pair of ASOS sky-high Mary Janes in patent mustard that I was wearing when I fell out of hubbys car – breaking…

The Rats At The Grange Playhouse
Most people know that Agatha Christie wrote a number of plays, Murder on the Nile and Witness for the Prosecution being amongst the most famous. But Agatha also wrote many other lesser known vehicles including a twisty, nasty, one act play called The Rats. This is the play that the Grange Players of Walsall submitted to the recent AETF Awards, where it was awarded the best one-act play in Birmingham! They are now bringing the show to The Grange Stage for two nights only and I was able to attend the very first show. (incidentally my first visit to The Grange Playhouse, but it won’t be my last.) I was…
