Week In Review: 9-15 February 2015

This week was quite busy with a variety of inquiries ranging from charity events to tribute shows, many of which have turned into bookings! Check out our Facebook page to see a listing of upcoming public shows.

Monday the 9th was just another day in the office tackling my never-ending to-do list. On Tuesday, I attended the Business & Enterprise meeting at The Purple Door in Portsmouth. B&E is a work stream of Shaping Portsmouth, and we outlined our overall mission for 2015 as well as set up subgroups to manage the various programs we are undertaking this year. I volunteered to work on the Business Support Bank project which is a structured program where business mentors volunteer their time and start up companies and existing businesses are able to connect with a mentor.

On Wednesday, I was off to rehearsal with Mayfield as we prepare for some upcoming shows, including our first show of the year at March of the Mods in Reading on the 15th of March! This promises to be a great show with some amazing bands in the lineup. Tickets are still available, so click here for more information!

On Friday, I headed up to Leeds for a gig with The Midnight Soul Sisters. Diana Ross made an appearance along with Beyonce & Tina Turner. This event was for our band leader's mum, Veronica, who was celebrating her 60th birthday. There were tears, singing, dancing and lots of delicious food throughout evening. I stayed overnight after the party in a very posh 4-star hotel. I had to pry myself out of the bed on Saturday morning before heading back to Portsmouth to get ready for my Simply, Tina Turner show on Valentine's Night! We had an absolute blast at Cosham Conservative Social Club. We started the show shaking our tail feathers to Tina Turner, and ended my part of the entertainment with my Disco Diva's set!

This was my second time performing at this venue, and they definitely know how to have a good time. My favorite part this time was when I finished my last encore and the DJ played Thank You for the Music. The guests all surrounded me and started singing this song to me ... I thought, what a lovely Valentine to have all that love and appreciation directed at me.

Speaking of Valentine, my lovely husband surprised me with a dozen red roses. He had two days of travel starting on Friday to get home from Argentina so I was not expecting anything. As I was getting out of the taxi on my way home from Leeds I noticed a box on the front step. My first thought was that my husband had bought yet another magic trick (he's a comedy magician), but much to my delight the box was for me!

Sunday was truly a day of rest and recovery from a very busy weekend. I caught up on my favorite TV shows and had a bit of Chinese takeaway for dinner. All in all, I had a fantastic week indeed!

Please take a moment to like my Supremely, Diana Ross facebook page. And remember to contact Gloria Miller Entertainment if you are looking for star-quality entertainment for your wedding, venue, festival or next event!

That's it for this edition. Have a great week!

Week in Review - 10 January 2014!

It's official!  GME will be providing the entertainment for several Foodies Festival events across the UK for the second year running!  This project was made official on Monday and what a fantastic way to start the new year. We will be bringing back some of the best acts from the 2013 events as well as introducing the Foodies attendees to some new and diverse performers from across the UK.  We will keep you up to date on all the entertainment news as we gear up for our first event in Brighton which will take place 3, 4, & 5 of May.

On Thursday, I attended a fantastic networking event at Grosvenor Casino Osborne Rd. hosted by Jodie Young where I ran into some familiar faces and meet some new people offering some very interesting opportunities and products. Stephen & Chrissie Sheppard of One World Radio Org. were there, and I am pleased to announce that I will be partnering with them to present 'Glo's Music for the Soul' monthly radio show that will be launching on Valentine's Day with a show filled with romantic music from the genres of Soul, Jazz & Funk. This show will feature well-known as well as emerging artists showcasing music from the soul!

It was great to see Haley Storey of About My Area there as well! We are in discussions about ways to spotlight the great performers in the Portsmouth area by bringing you the latest events and interviews to support the amazing talent in our area.

Another highlight of the networking event was meeting Sue of Redtopp where I was given an impromptu 10-minute 'healing' session on my very troubled left knee. This morning I'm feeling no pain in that knee!  I'm not sure how 'Energy Healing' works, but I plan on exploring this further! 

Sherry Claridge

I don't know about you, but as I get older I'm starting to be concerned with the aging process and how it showing up on my face :). Sherry Claridge of NuSkin talked to us about some amazing anti-aging products that promises to reverse the aging process. She looked absolutely amazing so I'm looking forward to trying out some of her products!

Finally, for a bit of fun I will be heading to Southampton on Saturday for a Soul 45 event at The Cellar to get 2014 started right with a bit of Funk, Soul, Motown, Northern, R&B, Raggae & Disco!!
