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.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0\u00a0I look forward to seeing Shakespeare performed there in the future.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I think I finished cricket for the summer on Tuesday and the injury hit old body is grateful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
