nobody takes me seriously : Are you a muso serious about your career?
How serious are you?
There is a lot of dissent in the ranks regarding the 'lack of work' and I hear it often, yet I re-list so many names regularly in the gig guides... I have found over all these years there are a few pitfalls that some tend to fall into.

ME AND MY GIRL: Me and My Girl - Book and Lyrics by L Arthur Rose and Douglas Furber - Music by Noel Gay - Book revised by Stephen Fry, contributions by Mike Ockrent -
Directed by Peter Hellier, Wyong Musical Theatre Company
Oi! Known as the “happiest show on earth” Me and My Girl makes its highly anticipated comeback in both Wyong and London’s West End, in 2018!
This delightful, highly entertaining fun musical-comedy is packed full of toe-tapping dance numbers, engaging songs, artful tricks and both witty and unashamedly corny laughs! With the 1986 revival West End production brilliantly updated by Stephen Fry winning 3 Tony awards.
Set in England in the 1930’s, the plot revolves around Bill Snibson (Freddy Hellier), a Cockney pickpocket and costermonger, whom, is discovered by the family solicitor Parchester (Brett Perkins), to be the rightful 14th heir to the Earl of Hareford. And of course there is a catch!
To claim the title and the money, he needs to change and fit into his new aristocratic family led by Maria, Duchess of Dene (Jane Sackman). This includes ditching his cockney, childhood sweetheart Sally Smith (Jess Calvert-Pennings), the love of his life, in favor of Lady Jacquie Carston (Maddie Richards) who is only attracted to his title and his money and immediatley dumps her fiancee, The Hon Gerald Bolingbroke (Jardon Williams) to pursue Bill. Bill is left with a heart wrenching decision, torn between love and duty.
In steps Sir John Tremayne (Trevor Doyle), assisted by Charles the Butler (Justin Charton) who secretly arrange for Sally to undergo a transformation of her own - can true love find a way?
Me and My Girl is under the expert direction of Peter Hellier (a true Cockney himself!), including Michael Partridge as Musical Director, Karen Calvert as Choreographer, Adelle Richards as Assistant Director, and Kirsty Pennings as Assistant Choreographer, all supported by a strong production team.
The music will transport you to a world of Joy, with such delightful, memorable songs such as Lambeth Walk, Leaning on a Lamppost, Me and My Girl, and The Sun has got its Hat On that will have you toe-tapping along.
We dare you not to laugh!!!
