Week in Review - 2 May 2014

Guess who's playing the 2014 Isle of Wight Festival?? Mayfield!! It's official. Mayfield will be playing the Hipshaker Lounge on the 14th of June hitting the stage at 9pm! We are so happy to be a part of this event along with so many other fantastic performers. Click here to view the full Hipshaker line-up. 

On Tuesday, we put together a preliminary set list and will be debuting a few new songs as well as performing the Mayfield classics that our fans have come to know and love. 

In recent editions I've spoken a little about the goals I've set for GME this year. In January I went to a 'Visioning Day' hosted by Lisa Sturge who encouraged us to put together vision boards for what we wanted to accomplish in the year. This week I've been looking at those boards and of the 7 boards I created representing my 4 goals for the year, I've fully accomplished one, developing my 'I'll be Seeing You' wartime show, and I'm on track to fulfill the other goals too. Having a visual has made a real difference in remaining focused on what I've set out to accomplish this year by minimizing the distractions that can so easily cause me to get side track. 

On Thursday, I was back at the Jolly Sailor judging Southsea's Got Talent, and I have to say, that was by far the hardest heat to judge. It was great sharing the judges table with Andrew Pearce, aka The Fabulous Miss G, Nicole Geddes of Manic Stage Productions and Cheryl Buggy of Express FM, and we were all agonizing over which three of the nine acts would go through. There was an eclectic mix of genres being represented including Opera, Acoustic, Rock, and even Accapella. 

The first Foodies Festival is happening this weekend in Brighton! The entertainment stage will be the place to hangout all day long because the line-up of performers over this three-day event is outstanding. Now I'm just hoping the weather will be on our side. It's forecast to at least be dry, with possibly a few sightings of the sun! Here's hoping!  If you haven't done so already, follow me on twitter @gloriamillerent for festival updates throughout the weekend including pictures and video clips!

Me & Kayla!

This year I'm getting some much needed help from my God-daughter, Kayla who just finished her first year at Richmond University in London. Yesterday was her last day and I picked her up this morning. I'm looking forward to be her surrogate mom until she heads back to the states sometime in June! She's going to be my assistant for the Brighton and Clapham Common events. For the other three, I guess I'm on my own. Any volunteers??

Well, that's all for now! Have an amazing weekend!
