Hello Lesley, Hope all is well with you. I’m still doing my best to fly the flay for Ivor, we have a concert in Cheltenham on the 22nd of this month with Marilyn Hill Smith heading the cast. Our summer bash is in Maidenhead in June. Have you staged the play you wrote about Ivor again? We were only saying last week how sorry we were to miss it after being stuck on the M4 near Newport in a huge traffic jam. Would be pleased to hear from you sometime. Regards, Nick Gaze
