Today we have an important question…..

Will Sheila be shaving her beard off before tomorrow’s St Paddy’s Day gig at The Olde Peculiar?

Did you spot her beard in this poster?

Just in case you missed it, we’re resharing today as Sheila gears up for this Saturday night to deliver some good old Irish Craic at the pub in Armitage with Handsacre, between Lichfield and Rugeley.
....But in all seriousness, with what’s happening in the world, Sheila is looking forward to lifting our spirits with fun and frolics between 9pm and 11pm.

Don’t forget the gig is FREE, but if you want to eat before the event, which will also secure you a table for the gig, then don’t forget to book directly with the pub.

Sheila will also be holding her traditional raffle during the gig to raise funds to support her mental health projects. If you are happy to do so, please bring a few pennies along to get involved.

“If you would like to attend, then please let me know by email, and I’ll put you on my guest list.
"Entrance is free but by invitation.”

She added: “I’m sharing this personal anthology of poems, including poetry written in times of depression, to highlight that there is no shame in feeling how we really feel.
“I would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you for all of your ongoing support and continuing to be a part of our journey and hope you can join me to celebrate the release of my second book, ‘Behind Closed Doors.’”

Exciting update incoming…..

Today, we are thrilled to reveal that Sheila is very, very close to being ready to publish her anthology of personal poems.

We previously unveiled that the name of the collection will be Behind Closed Doors, and we have another snippet to reveal today…..

And that is…..

….That there will be more than 130 poems in the book!

They span Sheila’s musings from across her lifespan, starting from when she was only seven-years-old, right up to the cusp of her milestone 50th birthday.

Her poems cover a plethora of themes, which include depression, hope, and humour, across what has been an emotional and transformational journey to where Sheila is today.

Keep checking back with us, as we’ll have more news on this landmark project in the coming weeks …………….
