I’ve quite the busy weekend, as after my show I have a little bit of community work for the afternoon and on Sunday, the big question is how will the weather fair….answer is WET..
One of the topic for today was the modern fad of ‘App’s’ for smart phones. Its one of those things where you download use and then forget, but the question is are these Apps of any real value. One App I downloaded last week, I expect not to use or look at again after a week……have a listen to a couple of the jingles I made with it…..

An evening with Dom Joly – 27th July 2011
Spend a hilarious evening with comedian Dom Joly. This show will follow the last ten years of his life, during which he has ‘holidayed’ in Chernobyl and North Korea, and soared across the Grand Canyon on an 8-foot rocket. He will also tell the tale of how he got arrested in Switzerland while dressed as a yeti – at The Bloomsbury Theatre.
