“In recent months, I’ve been doing a lot more pilates. I know that sounds funny but what it has done to help my hip, my back, my kicking, everything has been great.

🇺🇦Clients at our Barnt Green Studio may have spotted this caricature of Andy on the wall! It was drawn in Oct 1987 by an artist in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Andy was leading a party of dancers, actors and musicians on a cultural exchange visit at the time when Birmingham was twinned with Zaporizhzhia and when Ukraine was still part of the Soviet Union (hence the hammer and sickle and CCCP in the drawing).
