Let's Do The Show Right Here
Our community series, Let's Do The Show Right Here has a new presenter: none other than Michelle McManus. Michelle takes over from Bryan Burnett but is no stranger to the production team. She was the celebrity guest in she show staged in Wick last year. I remember Michelle describing how moved she was to hear about the death and devastation caused by a German bombing raid in World War II. The show was staged to raise funds for a memorial garden on the bomb site which, after all these years, had not been cleared away.
There's another new dimension to the series this year in the form of a blog forum for Michelle and the various community leaders taking part. You'll be able to follow their progress as they arrange venues, books acts and sell tickets. It should be fun.
I've been at a good many of the actual show nights myself and am always impressed by the spirit of a community coming together to make things happen. Most vividly I recall a bitterly cold night in Stonehaven where the community staged a show at the outdoor swimming pool.
Talking about making a splash!
