I was contacted by someone from the PTA who had heard good things about my children's shows
She said as a Jubilee celebration, she wanted a children's entertainer to perform for the whole school, she wanted 4 gigs of 30 minutes for all the years of the school
At first I was apprehensive, with only a dozen gigs to my name, wasn't sure how it would pan out, lots of different age groups, including older children of 9 and 10, I sat on it for a bit, and said yes
I had been in touch with Allen Tipton last year and he very generous with his time, helping me develop my character. I got in touch again. I cannot speak highly enough of this man, he could be the most genuine, nicest, kindest gentlemen you could wish to meet. Straight away he offered encouragement and advice on what to and what not to use, he was always there with words of wisdom, and has been a tower of strength
So today was the day, and all went so much better than I could have expected, was a superb gig, a blew them away, I have never had so many compliments for teachers and parents alike, and I was so pleased with the effort I had put in to everything
Like I said in the title, special thanks to Allen, if the World was filled with more people like Allen, there would be so many less problems
Are you watching closely? Then I'll begin...
