There’s an old Yiddish Proverb
‘Men plan… God laughs’
And I can still hear him laughing now 🤣😂🤣😂

Been thrown a real curve ball ⚾️ 😫
So I’m afraid it’s time out for now ✋
I’m taking the 8 count 🥊 so I can come back for the next round 🥊💪👊
Not how I wanted it to be 😏 I can still hear the Big Fella 🤣🤣
It ain’t about how many times you get knocked down 🤔 it’s about how many times you can get back up ❤️💪👊🙏
So until I see you all… soon I prey 🙏
I wanna thank you all for your love and support 🙏❤️🙏 keep Swingin 😎 and see y’all as soon as I can 🙏🤞🙏😎

So it’s that time of year again folks…
I been the best man once or twice, but never the groom 😂😂 even tho I’m dressed for the job 🤵‍♂️ 😂 maybe third time lucky 🤷🏼‍♂️ and maybe just what I need at this time 🤔
Having had to take some time out for personal reasons 😏 it’s been good to step back and look at the entertainment scene on the island 🤔
Summer really isn’t my favourite time on the circuit 😏 different crowd, different vibe completely 😏 and since Tenerife has basically become Motownerife 😂 it has given me much time to think 💭
As an entertainer, I love to perform to an audience that wants to be entertained, rather than an audience that wants to entertain itself 😏 a subject of discussion in every meeting I’ve had during my time out…

We all love Motown, and we all love an anthem, but we can sing those ourselves in the shower 😂
So let’s see what shocks are in store this Halloween 🤔😂😂 and let’s see if Motownerife is gonna be my destination for the winter 🤔
I expect to make a return sometime next month, all being well 🙏 and look forward to seeing friends and followers over the winter months 💯 love you all ❤️
The diary is pretty empty, due to what will be 12 weeks out come my return 😏 so I don’t know where I’ll see any of you 🤷🏼‍♂️ but even if it’s just the Market Tavern, Starbar and The Wi******er (thank you for your loyalty 🙏), then I’ll be there for all of you who love to come see a show 💯🎙
See you soon, stay safe 🤞 and keep Swingin 😉
Ed 🙏❤️🙏❤️🎙🥃🕺🏽👍😎

So last night we hit the Town in Maaanchester baby 😎 to visit the cities latest nightlife offering…
Loui’s New York/Italian Supper Club 🎙🍝🍷👌
What a joint 👌 a real throw back to the golden era of class and cool 😎 and boy have they done a job 👍👌👏👏👏
From door staff to rest room attendant, the place is buzzing with period dressed servers, buzz boys, tux wearing maitre d’s, and a dedicated and elegant attention to detail, giving a truly authentic feel to the joint…
Great food and wines served with style 👌
Needless to say I was invited up to give a song, first in a while, but brought the joint to life and added to the feel of the whole experience of stepping back in time 🎙😎
Great to perform somewhere you truly feel at home 💯 and in front of an audience that wants to listen 🙏 a match made in heaven 😉 Marone!!!🙏
If you’re in Maaaanchester you gotta check it out, but make sure you have your six shooters on, coz it ain’t for nuthin 💵…
Something tells me that won’t be my last time in Loui’s 🤔 a place that feels like home…
With a strict no phone policy, which makes for a real time atmosphere and ambiance, we were unable to take any pics of the night. But rest assured, we had a ball 🍷🍝🥂🎙🥃😎
Thank you Loui’s 🙏 Mazel to you all 🤞and see you again soon 😎🤞🙏

Lil update folks 😎
Certainly starting to feel more like myself 🙏 been a tough couple of months, but all being well I should be back in full Swing sometime in October 🕺🏽🎙😎 and I can’t wait 🙏
In the meantime I’ve been speaking with various agents and organisations regarding future venues, both on the island and further afield 😉 and I’ve dragged myself into the 21st Century by setting up my YouTube channel 😉😎

https://youtube.com/?si=wk3KNSqdYC0XMZO6

I’d love it if you guys could take a look, give a like and help share the channel 🙏
I’ve no real idea how all of this tech stuff works really 😏 I’m old school 😂 a techno dinosaur 😂😂 but I believe the likes and shares really do help 🙏🤞
So I’m gonna leave this up to my faithfuls 🙏 you… my amazing followers ❤️
I love you all ❤️ and miss spending great nights Swingin with you 🎙🕺🏽💃🏻 but not long now folks 🙏 and we’ll be dancing in the streets once again 🕺🏽💃🏻🕺🏽💃🏻🕺🏽😎🤞❤️

Happy Hump Day you lousy animals 😉😂😂😎

So here’s the latest…

Been 5 weeks now since I last performed on our beautiful island paradise 😏 and sadly it’s gonna be a few weeks more until I’m ready to make a comeback 🎙🕺🏽😎🙏

However, I’m returning back to Tenerife this weekend, only for a flying visit , as there are still further investigations needed to determine what’s been going on with me 🤞🤷🏼‍♂️🙏 but I’m very optimistic for a return to the stage in October 🙏🎙🕺🏽😎🤞

During my brief time back on the island next week, I will be discussing work with a number of venues with regards the forthcoming winter schedule.

Since my diary is fairly clear, I will be looking to secure several regular spots to take me through the autumn and winter months 🤞
If you would like to speak to me with a view to securing my services during this busy period, then do not hesditiate to contact me during the forthcoming 10 days whilst I’m on the ground there…

Most of you know what I do, and how I do it 🎙🕺🏽😎
So if you’d like to have me back, or you’re a new venue and would like to give my show a try, then drop me a message on here, or call me on 922 711005155, and let’s get your joint swinging 🎙🕺🏽💃🏻🎉😎
Anything from a 1 hour to a 3 hour show, suitable for bars, hotels and restaurants.

Satisfaction guaranteed 💯✊😎

Hope to see you all again soon 🤞 live and Swingin 🎙🕺🏽😎

Stay safe, be good, and keep Swingin 😎

Hi folks, hope you’re all having fun 🎉 and living your best life 🤞😎
I’m part way through various tests, with a few more in the pipeline 😏 getting a full overhaul 😉 and finding out what’s been going on these last few weeks 🤞🙏
Can’t deny that the break is both necessary and quite enjoyable 😉 but god do I miss not performing 😒 hopefully all will be sorted soon, and I’ll be back in the Swing in a few weeks time 🤞🙏🤞
It’s been tough 😏 but I been through worse 💯 and I see this as just another bump in the road 🤔🤞🙏
So until I’m back, keep having fun 🎉 take care of yourselves 🙏 stay safe 🙏 and keep Swingin 🕺🏽💃🏻🎉😎✊
Thank you all for your kind words and messages of support 🙏 it means a lot 💯❤️🙏
Counting the days till I’m back having great nights with you all 🕺🏽🎙😎🎉
God bless you all 🙏❤️✊😎

Just a lil update folks..,

I’m currently back in the UK, couple of appointments with healthcare specialist to see what’s been going on lately 🙏
It’s been a difficult time of late 😏 not working regularly 😏 and very little at all in the last four weeks 😞 but all the kind words of support from many of you has helped me cope with not being out there 🙏 and I thank you from the bottom of my dodgy heart 😉🙏❤️
Sadly the same can’t be said for some of the venues I was performing at 😏 loyalty is a rare commodity on the island, but a big shout out to Laura and Rocky at the amazing Wi******er, and my big pal Gary at The Starbar for sticking by me and keeping my regular spot open until I return 🙏 thank you both so much 🙏❤️✊ good people 💯

I’ve just realised it’s a long update 😂😂

So all being well 🙏🤞🙏 I plan to return to Fraggle Rock end of this month 🙏 hopefully fit for purpose and ready to Swing 🎙🕺🏽😎🙏 god knows I miss it 😏

So the schedule is limited, and it feels like I’m starting all over again 🤔 let’s see what happens 🤷🏼‍♂️
If any of you are familiar with a venue that might benefit from my show, please let me know, or give it a mention to the venue 🙏
It’s been an education 🤔 but I’ll bounce back 💯
Hope to see you all in the coming months 🤞 so stay safe, be happy and keep Swingin baby 😎🕺🏽😉
Love to you all ❤️
Ed 😎
