Just back from visiting our Peter and Nicola up in the smoke. We made a first visit to the Globe and saw “946 The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips” based on the Michael Morpurgo book. A really enjoyable and lively family production. It is a moving story based on the tragedy of American soldiers preparing for D-Day at Slapton Sands and those of you who do know me will know what a sucker I am for this type of story! The fantastic band that accompanied the performance played the old Steppenwolf classic at the beginning hence today’s title. The band’s front man Adebayo Bolaji was a charismatic performer and semi-narrated the story. “Born to be Wild” was certainly a soundtrack to my formative years and it is a long time since I heard it.

I loved the Globe and we nearly had sunstroke sitting at the top in the sun! It chimed well for me with our recent Shakespeare tour around his anniversary.  I look forward to seeing Shakespeare performed there in the future.

Now preparing for tomorrow’s gig going over some old favourites. Later today I am meeting Brian to sort out our London tour in mid September, logistics as well as performance.

I think I finished cricket for the summer on Tuesday and the injury hit old body is grateful!
