GME News - January, 2016

Editor's Note

Happy New Year! I don’t know about you, but it was very hard for me to get back into work mode after having two fabulous weeks off for the Holiday Season. Even though I wasn’t working in the office, I did have a few local shows and a couple that had me on the road travelling across the UK. My Acts were busy too spreading Christmas cheer in venues from Portsmouth to Blackpool and from Bradford to Lee-on-Solent.   A couple highlights for me was my Motown/Soul Night that I performed at Owens in Southsea on 27 December. GME Acts Marlene Hill and Gemma Anderson popped in to show their support and have a bit of a boogie; another fun show was a last minute booking I picked up earlier in the month for a Ladies Day Christmas event at Restaurant 69. I performed my Motown & Disco Divas sets to a very glamourous and rowdy group of women … LOL! We had a fab time.   Elvis was in the building for a couple shows hitting Reading on the 12th and Southsea on the 20th. I even booked Santa to make a special appearance at the Roland’s Castle Golf Club. I spent Christmas with Neal and my father-in-law on the Isle of Wight, and in between sorting out bookings and performing my own shows, I managed to pack on a few pounds as I ate my way through the Holidays. I’ve got until 30 January before I have to squeeze into my Tina Turner dress, so needless to say, I’m on a bit of a diet … and hungry as I’m writing this … LOL! Alright, enough of my ramblings. Take a few minutes to enjoy the rest of this month’s newsletter! I wish you an EPIC new year and hope that it is beyond your expectations!   Gloria Miller GME News Editor
