Week In Review - 7 February 2014

Nathalie Gunn

This week I've been busy booking performers for the Foodies Festival events I'm doing this summer.  I will be providing the entertainment for seven events and the performance slots are filling up fast!  Half Crown, Tiger Lilly and FranClassic are returning to several of the events this year, and I've booked a few newbies too ... Nathalie Gunn Duo; The Indigo Kings and McCrei Duo to name a few. Watch this space for other shout outs as we get closer to the Brighton event the first weekend in May.

Southsea's Got Talent kicked off at The Jolly Sailor on Thursday and it was great returning to my roll as judge along some very elite Southsea area entertainment professionals. Along with Andrew Pearce aka Miss G, who also judged last year's competition, was LuLu Whitmore of Love Southsea and Comedian James Alderson of Comedy All Stars.  The evening was hosted by vocalist and songwriter Rachael Hawnt and there were six performers competing ranging from solo singer to break dancer to Rap Duo.

The winner of the first heat was Nathan Canon who will perform again in the semi-finals in September.  Click here for a sneak peek at Nathan's performance!

Lastly, today I recorded the first edition of my new monthly radio show, 'Glo's Music for the Soul' which will debut on Valentine's Day on One World Radio!  Each month I will showcase some of my favourite songs from an eclectic mix of genres with one thing in common, each song will feed the Soul! I have a love for Soul, Jazz, R&B, Motown and Funk, so will definitely include songs from these genres, but I will also explore other styles of music that have impacted me in some way!  Also included in the mix will be original songs from lessor know and emerging artists that are worthy of a good listen! I will post a link to the show in next week's edition!
