My last 4-to-5 guests, singer Jenna Monroe and pianist/perfomer James D'Angelo can be seen in concert three times this weekend...on Friday May 14 they are at The Isbourne Hoistic Centre, in Cheltenham, then on Saturday May 15 they are at St Mary's Church Hall, in Painswick, and on Sunday May 16 at Deer Park Secondary School in Cirencester.
The Cheltenham concert is "a scintillating evening of cabaret music featuring the heart-warming voice of Jenna Monroe [pictured here] and the lyrical pianism of James D'Angelo"...and those of you who heard them live on The Art Lot will know this to be true... This is from 7.30 - and you can book on 01242.254321 for £8.00.
The Saturday and Sunday concerts are charity events in aid of The Asha Mission, an orphanage in New Delhi struggling for funds...Jenna's daughter works there. It relies solely on donations...so go along, enjoy an evening of great music and give! give! give! to a great cause.

ALSO!Listeners who heard my interview with Philippa Roberts
recently may be interested to know that Evergreen magazine have done a big spread about Philippa's grandmother, Effie M. Roberts, in their Spring issue (out now). There are several of Effie's poems, with one spread over several pages in the front of the magazine, illustrated with beautiful photographs. There is an article about her, by Philippa, and more poems and photos later in the magazine.
Evergreen, for those who don't know it, is a Readers' Digest size magazine with a green background to the cover. It should be available in newsagents.
Charity of the month
The Encephalitis Society ...a keen-eyed person in the Encep head office spotted my mention in this blog...and emailed to say 'thanks'.
That email led to another etc etc as they do, and the outcome is that my 4-to-5 guests on June 15 will be Charlie + Rachel Stanley-Evans whose baby daughter caught the virus two years ago when she was one..she recovered and is now a thoroughly naughty three-year-old, says Charlie with relief.
It will be a fascinating interview...Encephalitis hits at any age: I had it when 59. So make a date in your diary for that! Charlie and Rachel are both busy business people...yet with looking after two young daughters as well, still find time to raise money for The Encepalitis Society. http://www.encephalitis.co.uk/
Their company websites are:
