Editor's Note - 1 July 2015

Billie & Neil
As I am writing this editor's note (that's what I''m calling this now), it's a lovely sunny day and I'm working outside in the garden. It's days like these that make me appreciate the flexibility of running my own business. Last week I was on a mini-break in Spain arriving back to the UK on Friday afternoon and stepping right into a very hectic weekend.

Starting with performing solo at a lovely wedding at the Salterns Harbourside Hotel in Poole on Saturday morning singing at the ceremony and wedding breakfast of Neil & Billie. The venue was lovely with it's waterside views, and the bride was gorgeous in her 50's style dress. Neil was looking quite dapper too dressed in his military uniform complete with more metals that could actually fit on the uniform. It was a delight to be a part of this special occasion and I have to share with you Billie's very nice testimonial:
Gloria is a superb artist and was admired by all on our special day with a potential booking from my inlaws. My father, who has been a jazz player for most of his life was extremely impressed with Gloria's talent. Gloria is such a wonderful person inside and out that I felt I had known her for a long time making our experience even more enjoyable. Gloria mixed well with all our guests and was liked by all. I highly recommend her for any event xx
Later on Saturday I was at The Jolly Sailor in Southsea with my party band, Move On Up. Thanks to the great weather we're having, the venue was packed with very enthusiastic people and we had a fantastic night playing a bit of Soul, Funk, Blues and more.

Then on Sunday I was back in wedding mode as GME was exhibiting and providing entertainment for a Wedding Show at Tiger, Tiger at Gunwharf Quay. It turned out to be a good networking event, and I made some good connections with some of the other vendors.

On Sunday afternoon, I performed a short Diana Ross Tribute set at the Thundercats Racing Event also in Southsea, then I finished up Sunday night singing with Beau covering the vocals for their regular singer. When I was driving to the gig I honestly didn't know where I was going to get the energy to do two 45-minute sets of very high energy music, but as soon as I heard that music from the very talented musicians I was sharing the stage with ... that was all I needed to get me through.

So when I finally woke up on Monday morning I was quite exhausted, but looking back over the weekend, I wouldn't have wanted to spend it any other way.

Here at GME, we provide star-quality entertainment at affordable prices for Weddings, Corporate & Private Events, and Venues all across the UK, and now Europe too. While in Spain, I pitched my Tribute Shows to one of the top venues in the area, and they are interested in booking a show for either later this year or in 2016.

We are now accepting bookings for the remainder of this year and we're already confirming shows for next year. Do call me at 07504 611 173 to discuss your next event or click here to request a quote.

I am now presenting a weekly radio show on ExpressFM every Sunday night at 10pm. If you'd like to hear previous show, click here. And don't forget to tune in this Sunday for a brand new show. You can find the show locally on 93.7 FM or you can listen on-line.

This edition of GME News is the last weekly version. Starting with this issue, we are switching to a monthly format so the next update will be 1 August. Thanks to you all for reading these updates, and I am always thrilled to receive your feedback. You can find us on Twitter and Facebook and leave your comments there or you can email to gloria@gloriamillerentertainment.com.

That's it for now. When I write the next edition, I'll be another year older. I am turning 49 on 6 July ... wow, the last year of my 40's. I think I better live it up while I still have the strength!  LOL! Have a fabulous July!
