No matter how it might appear, we menopausal women are often seething masses of insecurities. Our best friends know this, and know exactly what to say to make us feel good!
This was my best friend Katy boosting me up after my appearance on @ThePianoUK (episode 5 of season 2). #ThePianoUK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhTTB6Jc40Q
I launched a new podcast and then did a half-arsed job of publicising it because (as usual) I'm trying to do too many impossible things at once. But if you liked my Making Tech Better podcast (https://www.madetech.com/resources/podcasts/), or me, or music or people or pianos or street pianists, you might like my new podcast and want to help spread the word!
Our wonderful delightful feelgood @Sale.Sings choir (in Sale, Manchester, UK) are looking for basses and tenors, and if you need a pick-me-up there are few things better than singing.

Back to the Aviva Studios #mjfpianotrail2024 street piano! This time I’ve taken an excerpt from the end of How I Got Over, a wonderful gospel number by Clara Ward (check out amazing versions by Mahalia Jackson and Aretha Franklin), although I’ve altered the lyrics slightly to appreciate all my fantastic friends and how they help me through. https://manchesterjazz.com/mjf2024-piano-trail@manchesterjazzfestival@manjazzfesthttps://youtu.be/k0RLhb6WHfg

Filming for @ThePianoUK has really sparked my interest in street pianists, and I'm a nosy bugger so I've been asking them about this fascinating hobby and where it leads them. First episode goes out tomorrow Sun 26th May '24, 10pm, all platforms.
