As it’s my birthday today it would mean a lot if anyone can donate to the making of a short film I’ve written which is about the power of music to bring two people together. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If anyone would like to make a pledge, no matter what amount, towards the making of this short film I’ve written I’d be eternally grateful. It’s about two people connecting in a very unexpected way with music bringing them together.

There's a new play about women's football in the WW1 era being produced next year. Intriguingly it was written in Italian originally and produced in Milan although it is about a Sheffield team. Great to know that the subject is still retaining interest.
