One of the songs this week was the first song that I ever sang a solo in on stage aged 7 (one whole line in an amateur panto children's chorus) If anyone can guess correctly which song it was I'll post a photo from that show (If I can find one) www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

On this rather bizarre day in UK politics, here's my manifesto😂

Showtune has a mix of songs that you just don't get on other shows! Plus this week, I have fantastic guests www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

Picnic in the park to enjoy the eclipse, amazing! Half the town had the same idea 🤣 The trees became pinhole cameras ❤️❤️❤️ photo from my friend

1999 I was on Fistral Beach in Newquay. The only place on the mainland that actually saw the total eclipse. It is a moment that I will never forget. Tonight I shall picnic in the park with a lovely group of friends and witness this one❤️

🥳🙏🍾 I always feel really guilty if shows with guests don't do well. Robert and Helena are fabulous and great to chat to! www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

I don't have a name to sell this show, I don't have a big station behind me to help promote it. So I'll try humour. I do have an incredibly wide playlist, interesting titbits of history and sometime some fabulous guests. If you love Musical Theatre, give Showtune a try!

3rd week running! It would be so lovely to make it to no.1, especially as the guests were fabulous! www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

I am very excited by today's show. I am chatting to @roberthazle.bsky.social and Helena Northcote about The Shows We Used To Know which they are bringing to @treehousebookshop.bsky.social in September. On live at 12 or afterwards on Mixcloud

I don't have a massive audience, but that which I do have is made up of people who really love their musicals. A lot of them are industry or ex-industry people. This brings me a lot of joy www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

Well, this was well worth the drive, fantastic production!

It's been a while since I hit the no.1 spot (which is a shame when I have had fantastic guests) but this is pretty good. www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

A fantastic day yesterday! Spent 💰 that I don't have but totally worth it! ❤️ the West End flea Market, found some fantastic CDs which will feature in later shows. Grabbed a last minute ticket for Ave Q and laughed ourselves silly🤣 Then Crazy Coqs to see the wonderful Liz Callaway who blew us away❤️

I shall remember for next time❤️ I didn't get a photo last night but this is from the last time. (this is the first time that I have posted a photo of myself on my radio accounts and it may not stay here long 😆)

This week's show Packed full of music from 1930 to 2026 with trivia and quotes from those behind the music www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

This week's show is now online review from a friend who listens live but doesn't really like musicals "Too much Angela Lansbury!" www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

No show today, but these two episodes are just waiting to be listened to. It was a real honour to get to interview casting supremo David Grindrod on his amazing career, and @bwayghostlight.bsky.social gave us a fabulous taste of his quiz and we had so much fun chatting about obscure musicals

A comment like this makes it all feel worthwhile😍 (posted with permission)

OK, I admit it, I am pretty proud of this achievement! (pretty burnt out too, it takes a lot to produce, present and promote each week) It may still be small, but those who do take a risk on it tend to like it. www.mixcloud.com/Showtune/

I have pushed myself a bit hard lately, so I need to take a week, or possibly two off from doing the show. In the meantime there are 2 splendid 5th anniversary episodes that would love some listens www.mixcloud.com/Showtune/

5 Years 233 Shows It might not be the biggest show on the internet, but it's got a lot of heart and a very varied playlist mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

I have the 2nd of my 5th anniversary specials tomorrow with another special guest! Exciting times! In the meantime, you could listen to the 1st one www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

It has been quite a week. I got to record an interview with David Grindrod, the man behind the casting of so many of the shows that we love, and also, I won a couple of prizes for my carnival float! Listen to the interview here - mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

My carnival float! It won in the Best Adult Walker category and the best overall walker cup🎉🥳🏆

It's Showtune's 5th Anniversary at the start of July and to celebrate I have 2 special shows. I am absolutely thrilled this week to have been able to chat with the man who casts Musicals, David Grindrod.

This week's show www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

Had a lovely afternoon seeing High Society with a wonderful friend. If only the programme didn't require a mortgage. I wish that we could go back to the days of programme or souvenir brochure. I really want to know about the cast. Not paying £12 for it

This week's show - I'd love it if you gave it a try! www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

This week's show really hasn't found it's audience which is a shame because it is a lovely playlist Sometimes I just don't know what to do to help promote it www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...
