The WAY FORWARD...........its Facebook

After much deliberating for many months about the best way of delivering the latest news from the Diane Shaw camp, we've finally settled on the answer, a tentative mixture of Facebook and Blogger.
There is a new DIANE SHAW Facebook Fan page (link below), which will house all the latest chat, gig guide information, videos and pictures.
So we are in the process of gently elbowing all of Diane's friends / fans / colleagues over to facebook and becoming a fan on the fan page.
So please zoom over there now, and we can finally get things up and running.
We've got a new LIVE Video coming, as well as new pics, and loads more gig dates for 2009....
thanks see ya there....
....Andy

Hope to see you there !!......................

Alma Lodge Hotel - Integreat Charity Ball

Well, What can I say!!!!.....

Every year, Barry and Chris Thompson arrange this night to raise funds for the Integreat Childrens Charity, and every year it is always a night to remember!

Barry and Chris and the team behind them always work so hard to make sure they raise as much money to send children on holiday, and they dance the night away just as hard!

As usual I had a FANTASTIC time as the audience really know how to enjoy themselves, and here's hoping they raised thousands like they do every year!!!

Warners ALVASTON HALL last night

Oh my!!!...WHAT A NIGHT!!!

I love singing at the Warner Venues. The audiences are FANTASTIC!

Thanks to all of you who were at Alvaston Hall last night! We sure had a good time, but I must admit....YOU WORE ME OUT!!!! I dont know where you all got the energy from because when I went back stage to fake out, you all went into the other room to carry on the party with Robert L Hughes!, but I must admit, if I had a choice, I would have stayed too....That gentleman can SING!!!


Well once again. Thank you all for being such a wonderful audience and as always, love meeting you all after the gig.

I am sure you all had a brilliant weekend with Clem Curtis and the Foundations on Saturday night, and not to forget Bob and the girls at Warners.

Well till the next time when we do all again!.lol
