Summer with The Dial Up!


What an amazing night last night at our Friday 13th 'Unlucky for Some' Dial Up at The Kitchen Croxley! Thank you to everyone who came, including a fresh faced Simon Lordan, doesn't he look smashing on his CD! It was especially nice to have lots of new faces join us, hope to see you again next month. Jim and I had the honour of winning Brian's Dial Up Cup for correctly solving his puzzle poem; as you can see Jim was far happier to share the trophy than I was!

As the summer bounces towards us, I'm delighted to say The Dial Up and Tiger Jazz both have a host of events coming up! Please do check the Future Events tab for details, but here's a quick round up:

Tiger Jazz will perform as part of Watford Jazz Junction's Steps Around Oxhey Village, 1 - 2pm at the Villiers Arms Pub. It's a FREE EVENT so turn up, grab yourself a pint and a packet of crisps, sit yourself down and enjoy!

From June The Dial Up is now twice monthly, once at the gorgeous Kitchen Croxley, 7.30pm on the second Friday of the month (June 10th) and once at the luscious Garden Rooms on Watford's Market Street on the last Saturday of the month (June 25th). The Dial Up is all about celebrating community and creativity in all its forms so come along enjoy as audience or performer! Tickets: £5 donation.

Tiger Jazz will perform as part of the Watford Centenary and Jubilee Celebrations on Saturday June 4th. Join us from 11am on the High Street for colourful and musical parade which will end at the Cassiobury Park Bandstand at 12 noon. There I'll be co-hosting an afternoon of wonderful performances from local musicians and dancers, including 20 mins of my favourite Songbook Standards at some point around half way! Then if you've time, hang around for the big star concert, name yet to be announced but we're promised big things! This is a FREE EVENT so pack a picnic and make a day of it!

On Sunday June 12th Tiger Jazz will perform as part of the Bushey Acoustic Festival. I'll be singing from 1.25- 1.45pm at the Three Crowns Pub, and then heading across to the Mary Forsdyle Gardens to run the Poet's Corner. Again, this is a FREE EVENT but bring a fiver if you'd like to buy any of my books, which will be available.


Finally, I'll be hosting a Poetry Afternoon at Peace Garden in Cassiobury Park, 12- 2pm on Sunday 3rd July. More details to come, but I'm already crossing my fingers for sun! Wishing you all lots of love! Hope to see you soon at an event or two (or five!), Alex xx
