I have been a regular on shopping TV network QVC since 2006 and I currently present a range of beauty brands here in the UK and also in Italy. In more recent years, this work has taken me to QVC US and Germany too which has been a lot of fun (and airmiles!). I no longer travel to the States but I just love being based in my home country and in Europe.In 2009 I trained as a life coach specialising in wellbeing and empowerment and I absolutely loved it. Originally, I am from a small town in North Yorkshire and although I moved to London aged 20, I still feel my northern roots are strong. I love to visit my family regularly and to get out into the beautiful countryside as often as I can. My other passions are yoga and taking trips with my lovely hubby – and of course, catching up with girlfriends over a cuppa (or glass of wine) you can't beat it!Full copyright: Do not use this material as your own.

I studied contemporary dance at Middlesex University and afterwards gained a Masters in Professional Performance from Millennium Dance theatre school.  I had many wonderful experiences in my 20's, touring Italy with Fame the musical, working with contemporary dance choreographer Darshan Singh Bhuller on a personal acting project of his, performing with Caburlesque on Britain's Got Talent and reaching the semi finals. Working as a body double/stand in for Ginny Weasley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Parts 1 & 2) was a highlight.I ended up working as a nanny and a music teacher in between performances and auditions.  Jobs with children kept coming thick and fast, and when I made the decision to stop auditioning I worked for Gymboree, Monkey Music and Tick Tock Music as well as being a nanny for families with babies as young as 4 weeks old. I went back to college to study child development further.  I obtained the role of Health Visitor Assistant as well as volunteering at The Bridge School, for children with special needs in the music department.  I also volunteered as a family visitor for the charity Home Start.I have been a baby massage instructor for 5 years now.  I have also become something of an entrepreneur in managing to work a few businesses on the go, meaning I could also use my creativity and go back to what I love without the pressure to earn a living from just performing.  For example, I set up a covers band called The Clicks, I was singing in a restaurant for a long while, I have now created my own music curriculum amalgamating all of the best bits I've learned along the way.I trained as a Singing Mamas Choir Leader in 2017 and have found a new vocation!  Bringing song into peoples' hearts and homes.  With this certification, and the rest of my skills, I moved back home to Liverpool in 2018 and set up my own business called Holistic Harmonies.  Our mission is to use the creative arts for the wellbeing of families, neighbours and the community.Holistic Harmonies was granted Community Interest Company status in August 2020 and we are blasting off into the heights of sharing our work with the community now we're able to apply for government grants.  This work was kicked off with a project called The Travelling Carol Singing Trio who did a tour of Liverpool during December 2020, bringing festive cheer to the doorsteps of isolated individuals and organisations.All work has copyright protection!

Career:As a stage actor, he has half a century's experience of working in theatres up and down the British Isles, and in English-speaking productions overseas. He took part in the first national tour of Godspell, and played in Julius Caesar and in Murder in the Cathedral at Chichester Festival Theatre. Other UK regional theatres where he has performed include Derby Playhouse and the Octagon Theatre, Bolton.For twenty years he was the Casting Director for The English Theatre of Hamburg and has cast over fifty plays, including The Importance of Being Earnest, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, Arms and the Man, Candida, Blithe Spirit, The Caretaker, Private Lives and The Circle, as well as the plays of LaBute and David Mamet. As a cabaret singer he has performed with his singing partner Francoise Geller in the UK and elsewhere. He has composed music and lyrics for productions such as The Circle, Educating Rita, When the Reaper Calls, Over the River, Through the Woods and April in Paris.[4]His first film job, in Arabesque, required him to play a scene with Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren. On television he has been a presenter on Play School, he played Inky in two series of Chips' Comic for Channel 4 and he spoke the first line in the first episode of Byker Grove. Griffin has worked as a dialogue coach on Byker Grove and Kavanagh QC. Through doing radio drama he realised that he could display great versatility with his voice alone, accessing a greater range of parts than would otherwise be possible. (For instance, in the late 'sixties when well into his twenties he took over the part of Billy the eldest grandson in The Dales, formerly Mrs Dale's Diary, who had previously been played as a boy with an unbroken voice, and played him till the serial ended.)He 'got in on the ground floor' when audiobooks started to be recorded. For many years he has been a voiceover specialist and has recorded nearly eight hundred audiobooks, mostly unabridged.[9] The subjects have been as varied as Homer's Odyssey, Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and novels by H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, as well as more modern writers like Hilary Mantel and Melvyn Bragg. Also many titles in the Golden Age of Murder series for the British Library, and non-fiction titles such as Elegy: The First Day on the Somme, and Breakfast is a Dangerous Meal by Terence Kealey, among many others. AudioFile Magazine wrote: "Griffin is not just a narrator, but an artist of the Spoken Word. He is in the top five of the most borrowed audiobook narrators in the world."[10] In 2015-2016 his 2015 reading of Kate Ellis 's The Death Season was the sixth most borrowed adult audiobook from UK public libraries, as reported by the Public Lending Right office.His more unusual audio recordings include having been the courteous voice advising alighting passengers to "Mind the gap, please" on the London Underground.In 2017, Griffin was appointed MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List "For services to People with Sight Impairment".PublicationIn 2020, Griffin published his memoir Speaking Volumes.ALL CONTENT IS HAS COPYRIGHT PROTECTION!

This week, we sit down with, EJ Harper, scientist turned novelist!She grew up in the North East of England and left to go to university in Nottingham. Home is now a twelfth century mill in South West France.Who or what are your literary influences?For me, the most important aspect of a novel is the emotional journey. I want to shed tears of joy and tears of grief and am in awe of any author that can craft a story with a powerful emotional punch. Maggie O'Farrell's After You'd Gone is the perfect example of this; it tore me apart, as did the achingly beautiful Hamnet.Another emotion is, of course, surprise and there's nothing more delicious than a twist that leaves you reeling. Daphne du Maurier does this beautifully with Rebecca, and so does Sarah Waters with Fingersmith.I've also a soft spot for Irish writers and their wry observations on life; John Boyne's The Heart's Invisible Furies is just about the perfect novel and I unreservedly recommend it to everyone.Tell us about your writing careerI've always loved writing and, following a twenty-five year career in scientific research and communications, finally realised my life-long ambition to write a novel. Early in the process I decided to make it an audiobook complete with a soundtrack. Thus the idea for Lazarus Remembered, my debut novel, was conceived. I'm currently working on my second novel, a psychological drama set in France. I also write short stories and have twice been shortlisted in international competitions. What were the highlights of writing Lazarus RememberedThere were so many! From a writing perspective I remember wrestling with various plot strands and one day, while out walking, suddenly they fell into place. It was an extraordinary eureka moment.Working with Andy was a revelation. Seeing him take a musical phrase and turn it into a song was and is amazing. I still have no idea how he does it.I loved the time in the studio recording the narration, but a particular highlight is Francesca singing Sosban Fach. Late one afternoon we made a spontaneous decision to have her sing it: overnight Andy worked out the melody, Francesca rehearsed it and the next morning a piece of magic was created.Tell us an interesting fact about yourselfWhen I was studying for my PhD, novelist Catherine Cookson and Greggs the Bakers sponsored me to travel to Japan to present my research findings.All content it under copyright.

Some songs age like wine, and some love stories transcend the test of distance and time. A single about the struggles of long distance relationships, written in 2017, perfectly exemplifies this. With a danceable catchy tune that pops, carried by exuberant vocals, Sydney's rising Pop Princess Felicity Light's new and growing following will definitely find every reason to stay with her music. This glamorous girl certainly knows how to debut in style, with her fresh single 'Need You To Stay', now available on all streaming platforms. Written by Felicity herself — with production by Jhay Cabrera and Andro Martinez, and mastering by Darren Ziesing — the sweet, vibrant, and punchy track comes with an equally glossy and stylish music video, which you can view on the Warren Telling Tales Youtube channel. The video resembles a glittery dream sequence, created by the formidable creative team helmed by Sydney- based Can't Be Stopped Productions. The visuals highlight Felicity's natural charm and powerful presence, which positions her as a total performer and in a league of her own. Her light not only shines in the way she sings and dances, but in her writing as well. 'Need You To Stay' was written back in 2017 while she was enduring a lovesick heart on board a cruise ship, away from the love of her life. But happy endings prove to be true, as Felicity is still with the same person she wrote the song for in 2017. "I wrote the song in my cabin while sailing around Alaska after my new boyfriend had left the ship and returned to his home on the other side of the world. I am so excited that we got our happy ending after six months apart and out of a tricky situation, I now have my first single out in the world," said Felicity. Although she is still new in the industry, her experience as an artist and performer is outstanding. She has worked as a singer-dancer on Celebrity Cruise ships, and has performed in the same capacity in China, Bali, and New Zealand, among others. There is certainly no backing down with this girl on fire, as she is set to release more singles in the coming months. From the little girl who sings the whole Spice Girls album with her mum, to being influenced by the music of Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, and Delta, to name a few, Felicity has definitely come a long way, and is now set to make her own light sparkle and shine!Felicity Light:IG: https://www.instagram.com/fizzylight/FB: https://www.facebook.com/FelicityLightMusicTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fizzylight?lang=enSong Production: https://www.cantbestoppedproductions.com/Host Warren Adams - Warren Telling Tales:Website https://www.engagetheatre.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/warrentellingtales/ or https://www.instagram.com/warrenadamsactor/Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/warren.adams.351/If your enjoying the content, Like, share and download and please help with any small donation..

The Covid19 lock-down caused a full stop, and the forced silence opened the door to an intense awakening experience. She has since written Necessarium, a channelled play, which has given another level of meaning to her life purpose, and to the creative and expressive gifts that she has used throughout her life. As a newly qualified Reiki practitioner, Louise has also been given the opportunity to discover just how strong her intuitive gifts are, and how they all fit in to her Dharma of identifying and enabling in others, the emergence of the part of the soul that innately needs to exist, giving it space to shine, explore life's narratives, and to creatively express what it inherently needs to.Music by Pixabay and Liborio ConteNecessarium extracts written by Louise Hurley, performed by Warren Adams and Louise.Louise's Contact details Email: charmedlou@hotmail.co.ukLouise' IG accounts: Private account but you can message she will respond. https://www.instagram.com/louh2/ Professional enquiries: https://www.instagram.com/thehealing.hand/For more details on Louise's work or to say hi go toWebsite: https://www.thehealinghand.co.uk/Host Warren Adams - Warren Telling TalesWebsite https://www.engagetheatre.com/If your enjoying the content, Like, share and download and please help with any small donation..
