Hi Andy,
It was great that we managed to catch up yesterday with each other after such a long time. The meetup was fruitful as we got to attend a charity gig at Blu Jaz Club on 31st July 2025, where we enjoyed an evening of nostalgic music from our local talents.It was so meaningful for many of our local entertainers putting their musical talents for a worthy cause, The Bloom Fund.
Let us hope that more charity drives for the music society will continue in the near future.

After speaking and doing a duet with you on-air, I was very happy to have finally met you Andy 😊🥂

John Klass thanks! Greatly honoured. I went close to the stage that first evening and sat where Irene, her husband Freddy and Stephen Francis were. It was blazing hot when you really went 'Footloose'. And the climax was... Ooh better than Kenny Loggins!
