Hi folks

This is a pre-apology.

I’ve just returned from a long holiday to find a major electrical fault on the socket circuit in our house. I’ve rigged a Heath-Robinson workaround that runs the internet on the power of hope and allows us to recharge the communal toothbrush. Otherwise, until we can identify the one cable messing things up, stuff round here may be a bit slow – including replying to phone messages.

If I was bright, I’d have come up with some gag about breaking the circuit.
But I’m not.

Happy Father's Day to my dad, Alan Grahame. 97 next month and still playing every week. Pic taken at event a few weeks ago. He obviously still needs the money from cash gigs. (Good looking guy is Steve Rose).

The tenth and final episode of “90 years in Showbiz” is now free to view. This short film completes the series of stories by Alan Grahame covering his adventures in showbusiness. He’s 97 in a few months, but still taking gigs. Very reasonable fees….

Episode Ten - "Playing Ronnie Scott's at 96yrs old..."
We move from the 1980s to the present day. Is Alan showing down? (You should know the answer by now). Check out all the previous episodes on this channel (alongside a lot of supporting material).
The last in a series of short films covering the 90 years in show business of percussionist, musician, TV, Radio & recording star and all-round entertainer ALAN GRAHAME. Born in 1927, he is still an active performer, playing regularly with top notch bands and Jazz outfits.
Each Episode covers a period in his life from concert parties in the early 1930s to the modern day.
Stories of jazz, TV, sessions, and featuring rare pictures and footage of stars from Noele Gordon to Perry Como, Shirley Bassey to Tom Jones.
