Merry Christmas ๐
๐
Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christย is more than a Christian holiday or Christian festival. It is more than an occasion to decorate our houses. It is an opportunity to pause and give thanks for the love, hope and joy found in Jesus โ our Saviour and friend.
This is my first post in 7 months. I lost my dad and cousin (42 years old) earlier this year and haven't been in a mental space to create new content nor post on social media. May the light of Jesus see us through the darkness of grief, war, and hatred.
Here I'm singing 'White Christmas' and performing acrobatics with Alice and Stef.

Dedicated to the people of Ukraine, who are forced to defend THEIR country and are showing amazing resolute, strength and courage, here Sara and I perform an acroflow. The flow is slow, wearing black, with simple shapes to emphasise the severity of this war. Our prayers are firmly with Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ

I don't post much on Facebook as I find Instagram works better for my business, as an acrobat, magician and operatic tenor.
However I just wanted to put a message out hoping everyone is well and wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year when it comes ๐๐๐
Big thanks to all my clients that have stood by and supported me in those challenging times ๐๐๐พ
Sending love ๐

I don't post much on Facebook because I find that TikTok and Instagram work far better for my business, but thought I'd share this from Tuesday. Here I'm working with good friend and ex-National Sports Acro Champion (3 years ago), Rebecca. Next stage is for Rebecca to lift this straddle lever to handstand, on my foot.
Here I'm singing a clip from 'Somewhere over the Rainbow', a song that opened a lot of doors for me in leading to performing in Mario Lanza tribute concerts.

Stef and I begin this video by working on acro conditioning for both the base and flyer.
The base has a good chest workout in doing the bench pressed and also gets really good for conditioning for the forearm muscles in continually balancing the flyer throughout the lifts.
The flyer gets an awesome core and shoulder workout by holding a slightly dished handstand as strongly as possible throughout the presses.
The icarian pop practice was also performed with Stef.
The picture of the one handed high hand to hand featured was taken in my back garden with the lovely Rebecca.
Here I'm singing 'A Heart Full Of Love' from Les Miserable with Michelle Renee providing the Soprano vocals ๐

Here I'm singing another section of the song 'As If We Never Said Goodbye' from Sunset Boulevard.
As performers, many of us are nervous in these unusual pandemic times, and are hopeful that when we return to performing at corporate events, weddings and birthdays, it'll be 'as if we never said goodbye'. All I can do is continue to improve my craft in the meanwhile, in learning new songs, new acro-skills and magic tricks and hope when things return to normal, we're really busy as we were before ๐ค๐๐

Thanks to the gorgeous Stef for helping me create some wild footage, including

Ok, I'm a 'romantic softy' at heart. Another love song cover. Previously unseen footage of pre-lockdown training with close friends Stef, Alice, Beth, Theresa and Connor. Hope you enjoy the video.
Here I'm singing 'When I Fall in Love', written byย Victor Young andย Edward Hayman. It was introduced in the filmย One Minute to Zero.ย Jeremy Southernย sang on the first recording released in April 1952 with the song's composer, Victor Young, handling the arranging and conducting duties. The version I'm singing is modelled on that of one of my favourite Tenors, Andrea Bocelli.

โLet your unique awesomeness and positive energy inspire confidence in others.โ โWherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.โ โIf you want light to come into your life, you need to stand where it is shining.โ โSuccess is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.โ
So the first video isn't magic and most definitely does use editing! Time consuming editing as I found out to my cost ๐
Here I'm singing a song people often request at events 'Nights in White Satin', written and composed by Justin Hayward, by 'Moody Blues', first released in 1967 as a single.
Previously unseen pre-lockdown training, I've since added my vocals ๐ถ
