🐝 The Singing Hive LIVE! - at Benito Lounge, Chorlton

Here’s the full version of Bewitched from the 1940 Roger’s & Hart musical Pal Joey.

I sang it at Benito Lounge, Chorlton last week.

This is my new favourite song, and has been one on my list since I saw The History Boys at the in the mid-2000s

Enjoy!

🐝 Excited to introduce my co-facilitator for INSIDE the SONG on 16 May - Marie Critchley.

Marie is an actor and educator, whose TV credits include The Casual Vacancy (BBC/HBO) and BAFTA-winning In the Flesh, and she currently teaches at The Arden School of Theatre in Manchester.

Marie brings serious craft into a warm, accessible space - and I can’t wait to work with her.

A few spaces are left!

When: Saturday, 16 May, 2.30-5pm
Where: The Edge Theatre, Chorlton, M21 9JG.

This workshop is for you if you’re:
- 16 +
- confident singing in front of others
- keen hobby singer or pre-professional
- classical, musical theatre, folk and pop styles of singing welcome
-you’re interested in developing your acting skills in a friendly, welcoming space

You will arrive with one song you know well and feel confident with.

Marie will guide you through acting techniques, exploring intention, character, truth, so that you leave with new tools to apply to any song - not just the one you’ve worked on.

Cost: £60 (£50 for members of The Singing Hive).

Send a DM and I’ll send you the booking link!

🐝I’m playing around with song ideas for a Great American Songbook-themed gig @
Chorlton in April.

This is By Strauss - by Gershwin. I need a few up tempo numbers, so thought this could fit the bill.

What do you reckon?
