Blues on the Bay Warrenpoint

Just had a wonderful weekend of music in Warrenpoint.

We had Shannon down to see some of the music. Her first Blues festival!!!

Once again I think the festival was a resounding success.

The highlight for me has got to be a guy by the name of Shawn Jones.

Check out his website http://www.shawnjonesmusic.com/

I have seen him play a couple of times over the last few years. I just love seeing good guitar players.

I bought his live recording 'Live at Mozambique' . This really catches the spirit and intensity of his live show.

His song Heaven's Daughter caught me by the name initially. Shawns lyrics really captures the need to have a positive attitude no matter what you face in life. Something we should all aspire to even when life does get tough.

I just wanted to share that!!!

London Marathon Update

Unfortunately Martin Gorman's London Marathon attempt did not go ahead this year.

He was forced out as a result of injury. However, the good news is that he was able to defer is entry until next year.

He recently posted this message to the site:

"Sorry to let you all down but I have developed pertendintis (burning pain in the achilles). I have tried to rest and get treatment (every day) but after three weeks i am unable to run three miles. I will sadly have to pull out of LFM, but please dont stop donating its a brilliant cause and Shannon, Adrian and Donna are putting in great efforts to raise the profile and funding for this great charity. So please continue to give generously,there will be other marathons and other fund raising events but your continued support is needed."

I can only reiterate that message and thank you in advance for your generosity and support for the charity that plays an important role in our lives

P.S. He was also able to run a couple of legs in the Belfast Marathon recently in aid of Heartbeat. The efforts continue...
