Out and about with the Safestyle Window Man!

18th March 2010

Hello and how are you doing? It’s been a while, so what have I been up to? Well on February 12th I attended an evening with raconteur Henry Blofeld at the Lowry theatre in Manchester, and he was telling me and my sister old stories about the life and times of broadcasting the Test Match Special on BBC Radio 4 for the last 40 years. It was brilliant, informative, funny, controversial - a very enjoyable evening at the Lowry theatre.

Then on 26th Feb I compared at a charity event at a bar called “Barcode” and it was a night of comedy, raffles, auctioneering, with local people all joining in and we raised £5,000 for the Pendleside Hospice for cancer care. It’s not government funded and it needs to raise over a million pound a year, so I’m just doing my bit to help keep the dream alive.

The next day I was compering in the European Suite for the match Burnley Vs Portsmouth, and it was another ladies day with 150 ladies, this time culminating in an appearance from Crissy Rock who flew in from “Benidorm” (the TV programme) - she did a little comedy spot, some stand-up, and she was brilliant! And she said the Window Man was a very lovely man!

At the beginning of March I starred in a music video for a soul song from a new Burnley-based record label Doc RedEye Music to introduce their first artist, Milli Low. Then I went to Spain on the 6th, and it rained! Ha! Interestingly, whilst I was out there, I stumbled across a meeting of Everest double glazing managers from the north of England, and one of my first questions to them was how much business did they do last night - but they didn’t know, so I guess that’s yet another difference between the various double glazing companies and Safestyle!

More recently, on 12th March, I was compere at the Moore Suite at Heaton Moore, with Lee Sharpe the ex-Manchester Utd player, who did a brilliant speech about his time at Man Utd and what it was like being on reality TV. There was also a comedian from Halifax called Lee Roberts, and the event took itself place to raise money for the Stockport Vikings junior football team.

Then the day after I did the 30th anniversary dinner for Reddish Vulcans junior football team at Stockport, there was a nice dinner and fun entertainment, and we raised money for the “Get Kids Going” charity for disabled children. It was a good do!

Yours up to date now,
