It’s not over till the thin lady sings

Football shirtThe My Place or Yours residencies are drawing to a close: Charlie Jordan’s showcase in Birmingham marks (I think) the last physical expression of our mostly virtual project. West Brom Words is going to be a rip-roaring, rollicking celebration of football and all things West Brom-related.

Charlie’s valedictory gig takes over the Library Theatre, Birmingham on 25th March.  Byron Vincent is joining us to wave the My Place flag, and I’m MCing in my new ‘Sheffield Wednesday girls’ shirt (above). Local heroes Dan Cullen and Matt Man Windle are on the bill too – and I hope we will have an audience that represents the full glories of the West Midlands live literature scene, the brightest in the UK. Charlie’s material ranges from the football pitch to the gym via the bedroom – don’t miss it folks, give My Place or Yours its proper send-off!

    As my singing voice is so bad I don’t even sing in the shower for fear of offending my own ears, never mind my neighbours…….. don’t worry – I promise this thin- ish lady won’t sing:) But I guarantee incredible entertainment from the stunning Jo Bell, two ridiculously talented and lovely young West Midlands lads, both still under 20 – Matt and Dan, and the hilarious Byron Vincent. See, as I have virtually no ego I’m not even mentioning that the lanky bird (me) will indeed be sharing West Brom Words at the gig to celebrate the brilliant people at WBA – the foundation that works with young people as well as the football club. Well, they’re the focus of the residency, so go on turn up for all the above reasons for a top night out of free entertainment:) Thanx…..
