Karaoke King - my night with Melin Elvis!
Jun 25, 2013

Well, it wasn't really a night, not even an evening - it was only an hour! But what an hour. Last week we were staying at the Mumbles and on Wednesday I visited the White Rose karaoke night and heard some great singers. Only to be expected of course in a corner of Wales well-known for top artists in the entertainment industry! One of my favourite songs, Snow Patrol's 'Run' was performed very enthusiastically by a gentleman I later discovered goes by the name of Melin Elvis. After the night ended with a stupendous Bee Gees medley I was able to speak to 'Elvis' and it was after this I decided to do this blog. I also heard great versions of an Adele song, 'Jar of Hearts' and a superb duet (which I had been hoping to do myself!). I hope some of the White Rose folk will join Soundclick - it's free and there's no spam - and we can become music friends. I have some free downloads on here among my own songs and covers and some instrumental versions for anyone who would like to record or sing live one of my songs. Just join up and send me a message, even if you are a listener only - the way I started in 2004. But you can take things a lot further if you wish to. I must also send good wishes to the young bar staff, 1 guy, 1 girl, who worked very hard and, like everyone else, were very friendly making the place a home from home for us and the highlight of our stay. Best regards to all. Photo to come!

Proud Mary
May 12, 2012
I don't get sentimental on here (very often) but when today arrived, I felt I had to do what I've been pondering over for a few days. You see, today my mother would have been 93, She died in 1997, having contracted Alzheimer's a few years earlier. She never encouraged me musically, it was all about a 'proper' job. No-one EVER called her Mary, she was always Polly. A schoolgirl nickname which stuck all her life! So would she have been proud of my collab. with Harry Edgar? I doubt it, but that won't stop me posting tonight in her memory.
