The X factoooorrr

2009-07-11T21:04:00.002+01:00

As you may know I have been playing some gigs with a lovely girl called "January"
(Yes that is her real name) she was named after the song by pilot.
Well Jan finally decided to take everyone's
advice and go for an audition for The X Factor
and guess what she blew the roof of the place with Mr Cowell saying
"You are the one to beat this year" Key 103 are tipping her as the No 1 contender
so if you want a serious tip get a tenner on January to win this years show
and it could not happen to a nicer person
her family and friends are so proud of her
Good luck Jan we are all 150% behind you.
reach for the stars
Dominic :-)

Who is Harley Slack ???

Swaddled in Banadages Brave Young Harley Slack

has already beaten overwhelming odds to stay alive

Despite lying in hospital being fed drugs to ease his pain the 4 year old

manages to smile

and while the 4 year old who has had all 4 limbs amputated after being struck down by meningitis now faces a daunting future but he has a devoted family to back him up

Mum Samantha (23) said we have just got to get on with it and do our best for our son

the enormity of the future is frighteing but we have to face the facts we will have to look after Haerley around the clock, "At fist I thought he was going to go " but slowley he has started to get better and recently I have been looking at our Harley and it is the Harley we used to know only without the limbs,Harley can talk to us but gets easly tired because of the drugs said Husband Adam (20) as they launch The Harley Slack fund,Harley was taken into hospital in May with a sore throat and a temperature withing hours he was fighting for his life after being diagnosed with meningitis B,Medics at the Royal Manchester Childrens Hospital revived Harley 3 times

aftere his heart stopped and then Septicamia set in,Both arms were amputated below the elbow and both legs below the knee and the doctors feared he may loose his ears and nose,Harley is likely to be in the high dependency unit all year said Samantha who has quit work to look after him she said Harley was a energetic boy one day who would make the most of life ne day we were looking forward the next our whole world has changed,Harleys parents want to raise cash to pay for the very best artificial limbs which could cost up to £100,000 they aalso need to adapt there home and take time off work to be with Harley.

Middlewich Folk and Boat festival 2009

2009-06-22T08:58:00.002+01:00

This weekekend started of on Friday 19th June 2009
I had a 2 hour set to cover at The Golden Lion
we had a good crowd and passing trade I got finished around 11-15
then it was a speedy pack up and drive home because I had to be in work on Sat morning,
I didn't go back on Sat because of commitments,but I was up bright and early on Sunday morning 21st June 2009 and on my way back down the M6 for Breakfast with Dom at The Board Head,I really didn't ecpect such a turn out I ended up doing an unplugged session
very informal and very well recieved,I had a 5 hour gap to waite for my next gig at The Narrow Boat around 5-00pm so I soaked up the atmosphere of the festival, As I was setting up in The Boars Head I recieved a call from a guy asking me if I would come to The Board head and play The Middlewich song (This song was very well recieved this year for some reason) I told him to get over to the Narrow boat if he could get in,My set was split into 2 sessions because of other bands commitments but all in all I think we had a blast,I really did enjoy this years festival, I have made a lot of new friends and it was also great to see friends from past festivals turning up
and as I was driving home on Sunday night My phone rings and it was the same guy asking me would I come to The Golden Lion and sing The Middlewich song I told him the song has now been put to bed for another year and after a very long day I am on my way home,Job Done :-)

A massive gamble

2009-03-17T17:42:00.003Z

Monday 16th March 2009
I took the gamble to take my mainstreem comedy
to an alternative comedy club just too see if it would work,
The club was The Frog and Bucket and if you know Manchester you will know
this club is the 2nd biggest comedy club in Manchester
I booked in over 4 weeks ago for a 5 min spot called Beat the frog
you have 5 min to inpress and can be called off at anytime during the 5 min
if the audience don't like you,The place was packed with around 300 people
all out to celebrate St Pats night, There were 10 acts on and I was on in the 2nd half
I had a stormer and survived the full 5 min,but so did 4 others,it was then up to the audience who was the winner on the night and has then earned the right to a gig at The Frog and Bucket
they choose little old me,this was on comment I got on Facebook
Tony Just commented on your status: "The ancoats lad did good,to say you brought the house down was an understatement.and there was some good comedians on the show."
I had a brilliant night and I am still bouncing from the buzz,I have not yet heard from The Frog but when I do you will be the 1ts to know

and to top the night comedian Max Pressure also done a 45 min set
£1,900 was raised last night for Debra and that is brilliant news
and what the whole night was all about
and a massive THANK YOU must go out to promoter Barry Hampson
for putting this night together,
