Thursday 31st July Pride has got talent. I was at the Queens Arms yesterday and it was a fantastic final. The acts were across the board, male, female, gay, lesbian, drag, guitars and stroppy children! (part of the Just Jean act) I loved it, fabulous songs and humour and the judges, Andy Feest from the Queens Arms, Pula May, Gavin Owen, chief volunteer steward from Pride, Scott Drag With No Name, last year’s winner Jilly B and JJ and myself all came to the same conclusion that MC Envy, a rapper, was the one and now goes on to perform on the Cabaret Stage at the park at 5.40 on Saturday. With that and The Weakest Link: Final at Revenge where it was girls on top with the PV winning this year, with the fantastic host Sally Vate! What a night. Having been woken up at 8 am by my neighbours drilling and putting in a new patio door, having got to bed after a disturbance too in my street at 2am I am feeling a bit tired today but still.. rest time next week!!!

Tonight there is a fab Wii Contest at the Prince Albert which should be good fun and Cabaret at the Queens Arms although I myself will be at the Brighton and Hove Actually Gay Men’s Chorus at St Andrews Church in Waterloo Street in Hove. “Do You Hear the People Sing” is a selection of songs from the musicals and opera favourites. My good friend and niehgbour David Raven is the host and also they have members of the South Wales Gay Men’s Chorus too. So this should be a great evening But then it doesn’t stop for me as I am performing at the Aquarium afterwards about 9.30 with a Celebrity Open Mic Night with Jennie Castell, Lady James, Jamie Watson among others coming down to give a few fabulous tunes whilst I am on the keyboards.

See you around… don’t forget all other events can been seen at www.brightonpride.org
