In the mean time back to Chatham and I think Alana and Anthony should be congratulated for putting on such a fantastic "Salute to the 40s" event. There was so much going on and some fantastic acts, the best on the 40s scene with so much variety. For the finale we all came together for a Variety show organised and hosted by Madeline Brown who did a fantastic job as compere.When you are working so intensely you don't get the chance to hear and see the other artists so it was a wonderful opportunity. I particularly enjoyed listening to Mickie Driver's arrangement of Me and My Girl as I have worked for Mickie through his agency but never heard him sing before. I enjoyed The Putting on the Blitz boys and their close harmonies, the fabulous Polka Dot Dolls, Victoria Yellop on Violin, the beautiful Lola Lamour and the bouncy Natasha Harper and Little Miss Lucy who was just charming. It's always a pleasure to see Gypsy John and the Cinique Port Lindy Hoppers who just seem to be so full of life and engery

After my meeting with Rachel I had an appointment to visit the Trenchard Museum at RAF Halton as I'm very interested in WW1 history with the run up to the centenary. I'm looking forward to performing at lots of WWI events next year. The other day I was note bashing through music from that period so something I'm planning to invest in and really develop further.
The Trenchard Museum goes right through and covers many periods in RAF Halton's history. After writing this blog I shall pop up a few photos on facebook and also some of my weekend at Chatham so do click through here is the link http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fiona-Harrison-A-Voice-in-a-Million/143965822288531
