  The English weather will not dampen our spirits…Good morning ladies (it’s morning for ME anyway, late night last night). Hope all you girls from this side of the pond are enjoying the very British summer weather we seem to be having at the moment, don’t despair, it’s going to be nice again next week...

  Wall to wall trannies...Is how I would describe this year’s Sparkle event, at least on Saturday night when Pippa and I travelled to Manchester to join in the celebrations. There were loads of trannies there last year, but I was seriously impressed by how those numbers had risen this time. The Englis...

  Voice of the soulHi Michelle, thanks for your sweet comment. About the voice training, no I haven’t had any yet, though that is something that the NHS will provide. I have to make an appointment with my GP in a few weeks to sort out my prescription and to see if he can refer me to a voice therapist ...

  Days become weeks, weeks become months…It’s late, I should be tucked up in bed by now. Oh well…An anniversary has passed almost without me noticing, so I thought I should at least get around to mentioning it. I’ve done a year full time. I guess it’s flown by. I stopped presenting as male around the ...

  Situation normal, all... not too bad actuallyI’m going to TRY to be brief, as a lot seems to have happened recently. A week is a long time in blogging…Charing Cross #2 went really well.

  The Dinner PartyI am reminded of the excellent play, "Abigail’s Party", but without the comedy. The realisation that it’s all going horribly wrong…. Wendy, in her latest blog has related an event in my life and my reaction to it, to her own feelings, perhaps at a similar turning point in h...

  Drinks on the lawn We did our third gig on Saturday, another good one, the best so far in some ways. We were in a village hall (a decent sized one) out in the lake district, a place called Hawkshead. You’ve probably never heard of The Hawkshead Relish Company but that’s about the extent of the vi...

  Goldfish bowl Our second gig was a success, the first time I’ve performed in my home town as my real self. Felt a bit strange somehow, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it. It was probably just psychological, because of it being the first gig in Kendal, but somehow I had an intense feeling of being w...

  Lucy’s coming home Following the success of Lucy’s first public performance a few weeks ago, I have my second outing with the band this Friday, this time in my home town. I’m expecting to see a lot more familiar faces this time, some of who won’t have seen me yet in my new role. I should stop say...

  Ladies and Gentlemen! Lucy Diamond... It’s raining. Lots. It must be the rainy season. Well never mind the weather, what about my gig?! I did it, my first public performance as Lucy, and it all went rather well. The band have done a few weddings since they reformed last year but virtually the wh...
