On Monday morning I got to see the other side of PR as we reacted to a developing situation and observed for myself crisis management. By the afternoon we had calmed things down and had the chance to deal with other tasks.\r\n\r\nOn Tuesday, we mainly worked on Electric Body as we recently received more stock. I had more experience of invoicing which I’m sure will be helpful in the future although I’m still not sure why so many adults complain about doing it. It’s not that difficult!\r\n\r\nWednesday was interesting as we had a conference call in the morning to discuss various projects with Simply Hormones. One of my friends had come up with a title for a press release I was writing about an event where women will bake bread and learn about the menopause. I was delighted to find that they enjoyed it so much, they’re changing the name of the event to ‘Bready for Menopause’. You can find out more <a href=\"http://simplyhormones.com/event/baking-with-hormones-go-from-fuzzy-to-fabulous-while-baking-bread/\">here</a>.\r\n\r\nToday I am looking forward to meeting Trevor, a much talked about Associate of Lea Graham.

It is their third collaboration as a director-screenwriter team.\n\nThe short fantasy film tells the story of Odilo Fabian, an optimist on the outskirts of a town called Doubt, who uses wishes and nature to grow himself a real chance at love.\n\n“We were thrilled to welcome Kacey and Issy to the film,” said Matthew, an award-winning director at the helm of the project. “Issy has a talent well beyond her years and is incredibly professional.”\n\nThe production marks Isabelle’s third collaboration with the Rowney brothers, after she won Best Under 18 Actor at LA Independent Film Festival for her role in Matthew’s film <em>Superboy: Son of Tomorrow</em>.\n\nMatthew added: “It’s also been brilliant getting to know Kacey – we’ve been fans of her work for a long time and her performance in the film is more than we could have hoped for.” Kacey is best known for her appearances as Little Mo in <em>EastEnders, </em>Cathy in <em>Grantchester</em> and Miss Gullet in <em>The</em> <em>Worst Witch. </em>\n\nShooting took place in Haywards Heath’s Borde Hill Garden<em>, </em>which isn’t due to re-open to the public until April. The brothers had to work some movie magic to create a summertime setting.\n\nMichael Rowney, who wrote the film, said: “There’s a scene in the script where Kacey and Issy pick dandelions… a hard task considering they’re not in season yet! Our team fought the odds to make the scenes work - even when the heavens opened. It’s really paid off, and the dailies we’ve been reviewing have put smiles on our faces.”\n\nPre-production for <em>Odilo Fabian</em> began in December of last year. Louisa Connolly-Burnham (<em>Wolfblood) </em>will be joining the cast as Alice, with further cast announcements due to follow shortly.\n\nTo see behind-the-scenes images and keep up-to-date with the production’s progress, follow Matthew (@mjrowney) and Michael (@michaelrowney/RowneyMichael) on Instagram and Twitter.\n\n-- end --                        14 March 2017\n\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"13466,13467,13468,13469\"]','All-star cast announced for Sussex-based fantasy film','','inherit','closed','closed','','13464-autosave-v1','','','2017-09-08 18:24:41','2017-09-08 18:24:41','',13464,'http://www.leagraham.com/13464-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(14725,9,'2017-09-08 18:27:50','2017-09-08 18:27:50','<h1>Rowney brothers win filmmaking award</h1>\r\nBurgess Hill brothers Matthew and Michael Rowney have won an international award for their latest short film.\r\n\r\n‘Odilo Fabian or (The Possibility of Impossible Dreams)’ received one of three screenwriting accolades at the Hollywood International Moving Picture Film Festival last month, just as filming finished on the Sussex-based production.\r\n\r\nMichael, who wrote the screenplay late last year, said: “Winning this award was completely unexpected for me - Matthew entered my script as a surprise, and we heard that I’d won just before we entered the final block of filming.\r\n\r\n“It’s a first for us to win an award while we’re still in the process of making the film, so we hope that this is the first of many more to come.”\r\n\r\nThe fantasy film tells the story of Odilo Fabian, an optimist on the outskirts of a town called Doubt, who uses wishes and nature to grow himself a real chance at love.\r\n\r\nA star-studded cast was recently announced for the project, including Kacey Ainsworth(Call the Midwife, EastEnders), Isabelle Allen (Les Miserables), Louisa Connolly-Burnham (Wolfblood) and Luke Brandon-Field (American Poltergeist).

Adults &amp; children were enthralled at his magical skills. We\'re so glad that Tony came to our party and we would certainly invite him along again.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><span class=\"seller-review-name\">Trevor Sayer</span></strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\"I booked Tony for my Father\'s 75th Birthday - Tony was extremely popular with everyone and all I kept hearing was huge amounts of laughter from his tricks! His wicked sense of humour kept them all entertained and it\'s a must for any social gathering! Any excuse to book Tony I wouldn\'t hesitate - he\'s a must.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><span class=\"seller-review-name\">Fiona Hosford</span></strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\"Our 60th wedding celebration was enhanced by Tony creating an additional dimension to the occasion. All ages, all guests gave us positive comments after 2 hours of table entertainment. His close-up tricks were amazing. We were particularly grateful for the time he spent with our young grandchildren (including twin boys of 6 years); they continued doing the tricks at home!\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><span class=\"seller-review-name\">John Dummer</span></strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\"I booked Tony Charles to perform at my daughter\'s 7th birthday party. He is truly magnificent. He held 23 children (aged 6 to 7) totally spellbound for two wonderful hours. This alone is a feat I wouldn\'t have believed possible until I saw it! We\'ve had brilliant feedback from the childrens\' parents. The kids absolutely loved it. Tony had them focused from the first moment to the last.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><span class=\"seller-review-name\">Rob John</span></strong> <i class=\"bark-icon-check-o\"></i></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\"A brilliant magician whose show is fun for both children and adults. We booked him for a village hall party with 40 kids and we were a little apprehensive about whether they would sit still. We didn\'t have to worry because the moment Tony started they were all under his spell! Tony invited our daughter up to be the star of the show and at first she was a bit shy but Tony was great at getting her to join in. He then involved lots of other children in his show and made balloon animals for everyone. We would not hesitate recommending him for any event.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><span class=\"seller-review-name\">Andy Rudd</span></strong></p>\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=\"fa fa-envelope\" title=\"Enquire\" tab_id=\"1503313150110-9b7a85d2-8c2d\" add_icon=\"true\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1503313756567{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}\"][contact-form-7 id=\"14172\" title=\"Entertainment Enquiries\"][/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/3\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Other Magicians\r\n</strong></h2>\r\n[/vc_column_text][vc_basic_grid post_type=\"page\" max_items=\"10\" style=\"pagination\" items_per_page=\"1\" element_width=\"12\" arrows_design=\"vc_arrow-icon-arrow_03_left\" arrows_position=\"outside\" arrows_color=\"turquoise\" paging_design=\"none\" loop=\"yes\" autoplay=\"0\" item=\"14308\" grid_id=\"vc_gid:1505211082468-0389b104-d9ae-3\" taxonomies=\"116\"][/vc_column][/vc_row]','Tony Charles','','inherit','closed','closed','','14489-revision-v1','','','2017-09-12 10:31:44','2017-09-12 10:31:44','',14489,'http://www.leagraham.com/14489-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(14749,10,'2017-09-12 10:45:25','2017-09-12 10:45:25','[vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1577715709360{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background: #149b96 url(https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/6.jpg?id=16410) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}\"][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=\"post_title\" font_container=\"tag:p|font_size:50|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:1\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\" css=\".vc_custom_1577715672069{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 14vw !important;padding-bottom: 16vw !important;}\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1503316467769{background-color: #ecebe7 !important;}\"][vc_column width=\"2/3\"][vc_tta_tabs shape=\"square\" color=\"turquoise\" gap=\"3\" active_section=\"1\"][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=\"fa fa-users\" title=\"About \" tab_id=\"1503312572590-38f9099b-d8a0\" add_icon=\"true\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1505212702496{margin-top: px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}\"]The <strong>Swingtime Sweethearts</strong>, Annie Riley &amp; Le\'arna Castle, are both successful solo artists, with a combined experience of more than 20 years.

I hope the events will encourage people to take an interest, and also raise the necessary funds.”\r\n\r\nAs a fellow Ditchling resident, Dame Vera Lynn has lent her support to Alex’s campaign: “I commend Alex for his fundraising efforts – it is wonderful to see a young person taking the initiative.

All 151 of the four-star bedrooms are now equipped for longer term stays with a microwave, fridge and laptop safe.\n\nFeaturing private gym, gastro bar and grill, with a fully catered conference floor and free high speed Wi-Fi throughout, the Sandman Signature London Gatwick reflects a growing trend among operators to focus on business traffic close to airports.\n\n“Gatwick is not only a major gateway into the UK for business visitors, but also a busy hub for domestic flights, supported by good transport infrastructure, including fast access to central London,” said Sandman Signature Hotels’ UK-based MD Mitch Gaglardi.\n\n“There is also a vibrant international business community that has grown up around the airport. To our mind, that makes it a natural choice for a hotel operator such as ourselves, focused on providing a four-star experience for the corporate client.\n\n“When we took over, the proportion of corporate to holiday guests was roughly 40/60. Thanks to the hard work of our business development team here, we’ve already completely turned that around. 70 per cent are now executive visitors looking for a venue in which they feel comfortable working, staying and meeting colleagues - the sort of venue that I, as an international business traveller based in the north of England, would like to use. It’s my kind of hotel.”\n\nThe Group’s policy of using local suppliers for each of its hotels will see millions of pounds pumped into the local economy over the next few years.  Crawley MP Henry Smith welcomed company\'s investment, describing the Sandman Signature London Gatwick as  a \'premier destination for leisure and business in the Gatwick and Crawley area\".\n\nGeneral Manager Inga Gadisauskaite was previously involved in the launch of the group’s flagship north of England site, created out of the Scottish &amp; Newcastle brewery building.

London Gatwick launches after multi-million pound investment </strong></h1>\nCanadian-owned Sandman Signature Hotels unveiled its latest multi-million pound investment in the UK hospitality industry at London Gatwick last night (14 September 2017).\n\nAttended by more than 100 guests, the event marked the culmination of a three-year top-down transformation of an iconic seven-storey site into a luxury hotel brand – and coincided with the rapidly expanding hospitality group’s 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary.\n\nA total refit saw the hotel re-imagined primarily for the corporate guest and executive travel buyer. All 151 of the four-star bedrooms are now equipped for longer term stays with a microwave, fridge and laptop safe.\n\nFeaturing private gym, gastro bar and grill, with a fully catered conference floor and free high speed Wi-Fi throughout, the Sandman Signature London Gatwick reflects a growing trend among operators to focus on business traffic close to airports.\n\n“Gatwick is not only a major gateway into the UK for business visitors, but also a busy hub for domestic flights, supported by good transport infrastructure, including fast access to central London,” said Sandman Signature Hotels’ UK-based MD Mitch Gaglardi.\n\n“There is also a vibrant international business community that has grown up around the airport. To our mind, that makes it a natural choice for a hotel operator such as ourselves, focused on providing a four-star experience for the corporate client.\n\n“When we took over, the proportion of corporate to holiday guests was roughly 40/60. Thanks to the hard work of our business development team here, we’ve already completely turned that around. 70 per cent are now executive visitors looking for a venue in which they feel comfortable working, staying and meeting colleagues - the sort of venue that I, as an international business traveller based in the north of England, would like to use. It’s my kind of hotel.”\n\nThe Group’s policy of using local suppliers for each of its hotels will see millions of pounds pumped into the local economy over the next few years.  Crawley MP Henry Smith welcomed company\'s investment, describing the Sandman Signature London Gatwick as  a \'premier destination for leisure and business in the Gatwick and Crawley area\".\n\nGeneral Manager Inga Gadisauskaite was previously involved in the launch of the group’s flagship north of England site, created out of the Scottish &amp; Newcastle brewery building. She added: “We owe a huge thank you to our many local contractors for working with us on this amazing project and allowing the hotel to remain open with minimum disruption to staff and guests”.\n\n“We would also like to thank those corporate clients who were flexible and understanding during the entire three-year process. Many local businesses have shown tremendous support and have given myself and my team a fantastic welcome to the Gatwick business community. They’ve taken a keen interest in the progress of the transformation. Many of them were at the unveiling and we hope to welcome them as regular guests of the Sandman Signature London Gatwick now that we are fully operational.”\n\nThe Shark Gastro Bar, Shark Business Club and Shark Grill will be run independently by the hotel group’s catering arm, headed up locally by Shark General Manager Bradley Carr.\n\nThe Sandman Signature and Shark Club London Gatwick, which directly employs around 70 staff, is the second of three hotels opened by the group in the UK. The Sandman Signature Aberdeen is due to open early in 2018.\n\n…end…                                                             19 September 2017\n\n<strong>Notes to Editors:</strong>\n\nSandman Signature Hotels is part of the Northland Properties Group, owned by the Gaglardi family and based in Canada where it has interests in construction and operates 55 Sandman hotels, 170 restaurants and recently acquired the 5-star Sutton Group.\n\nNearly 40 businesses local to Gatwick benefit from a trading relationship with the hotel.

They also spotted bottle-nosed dolphins, only the fourth sighting of the pod for the entire season.\r\n\r\nLOGS teacher Abigail Nagamootoo said, however, that the most incredible discovery came later: “We saw one sperm whale called Erico twice in the course of the week – which was incredible considering he hadn’t been seen by researchers in the entire Mediterranean Sea for more than a decade!\r\n\r\n“Best of all though, was when we came across another sperm whale. We soon realised he’d never been seen before and had the unique privilege of naming him Lewis, in honour of the school.”\r\n\r\nStudents were also put through their paces as amateur sailors on the expedition, and tasked with cooking, cleaning and maintenance duties, while also spending one hour shifts working with a marine biologist on the sighting platform every day.\r\n\r\nIn a rare turn of events, the captain steered the group out from Sanremo and into French waters, where they anchored overnight between two islands in the Cote d’Azur (French Riviera).

They also spotted bottle-nosed dolphins, only the fourth sighting of the pod for the entire season.\r\n\r\nLOGS teacher Abigail Nagamootoo said, however, that the most incredible discovery came later: “We saw one sperm whale called Erico twice in the course of the week – which was incredible considering he hadn’t been seen by researchers in the entire Mediterranean Sea for more than a decade!\r\n\r\n“Best of all though, was when we came across another sperm whale. We soon realised he’d never been seen before and had the unique privilege of naming him Lewis, in honour of the school.”\r\n\r\nStudents were also put through their paces as amateur sailors on the expedition, and tasked with cooking, cleaning and maintenance duties, while also spending one hour shifts working with a marine biologist on the sighting platform every day.\r\n\r\nIn a rare turn of events, the captain steered the group out from Sanremo and into French waters, where they anchored overnight between two islands in the Cote d’Azur (French Riviera). Pupils had the chance to jump from the boat into the water to swim and snorkel in the middle of the ocean.\r\n\r\n“This trip was really about offering students something completely different.

There’s a serious risk that they’ll arrive this November to find one of our key pubs has shut up shop for good.”\r\n\r\nCampaigners argue that <em>The Foresters</em> has become an indispensable pillar of the local community over its century-long history. It hosts informal meetings for many of the village’s societies, including a darts club, book club, and the village preservation society as well as gatherings after events at the nearby village Church and village hall.\r\n\r\nMichael Evans, Chairman of \'Keep The Foresters Open\', said that there are also more practical benefits to keeping the pub open: “<em>The Foresters </em>has always had a lot to offer for villagers. It’s the only food &amp; drink venue in the village with wheelchair access for its pub and garden, and there’s a large disabled toilet with baby changing facilities which other pubs do not have. For a number of residents, particularly those linked with the <em>Lydfords Care Home</em>, losing the pub means losing a place where they can enjoy downtime with family and friends.”\r\n\r\nFor campaigners, the battle doesn’t end with last week’s protest.

But she wasn’t the only one grieving. This village was tiny compared to what it is today and yet it lost 20 men in the First World War and 11 in the Second.”\r\n\r\nTheir names are recorded on the War Memorial where villagers will pause as a sign of respect during a two-hour long procession.\r\n\r\nLast year, strictly enforced access and parking arrangements were introduced on the night of the parade, which attracts thousands of visitors each year. Only limited parking will again be available for those who arrive before 5pm, with no parking on the busy A22.\r\n\r\nPolice have warned there will be road closures in place during the procession along with temporary speed restrictions on the A22. Parking enforcement will be in place and cars parked in the no-waiting zone will be towed away for the evening.\r\n\r\nOrganisers strongly advise spectators to make alternative travel arrangements to avoid disappointment.

But she wasn’t the only one grieving. This village was tiny compared to what it is today and yet it lost 20 men in the First World War and 11 in the Second.”\r\n\r\nTheir names are recorded on the War Memorial where villagers will pause as a sign of respect during a two-hour long procession.\r\n\r\nLast year, strictly enforced access and parking arrangements were introduced on the night of the parade, which attracts thousands of visitors each year. Only limited parking will again be available for those who arrive before 5pm, with no parking on the busy A22.\r\n\r\nPolice have warned there will be road closures in place during the procession along with temporary speed restrictions on the A22. Parking enforcement will be in place and cars parked in the no-waiting zone will be towed away for the evening.\r\n\r\nOrganisers strongly advise spectators to make alternative travel arrangements to avoid disappointment.

Police warn that there will be road closures in place during the procession along with temporary speed restrictions on the A22.\r\n\r\nParking enforcement will be in place and cars parked in the no-waiting zone will be towed away for the evening.\r\n\r\n“We welcome people to come along and experience the East Hoathly bonfire event,” said Tim Laker, Chairman of the East Hoathly and Halland Carnival Society. “This year promises to be spectacular, with an incredible sculpture and fireworks display planned for the evening – by leaving the car at home, visitors can reduce any potential stress and focus on having fun.”\r\n\r\nThis year’s event will feature a 30ft-high image of a local private from the Royal Fusiliers, who was killed on the first day of the Battle for Messines Ridge in 1917, is intended to honour the millions of ordinary foot soldiers who lost their lives in World War 1.\r\n\r\nAs with the previous 12 effigies, the angel was sculpted by East Hoathly artist Keith Pettit from waste timber destined for landfill.\r\nThe East Hoathly Carnival and Bonfire takes place on Saturday 11 November, when 20 bonfire societies will parade with marching bands along London Road, High Street and South Street.\r\n\r\nA charity box collection will take place on the night, with proceeds donated to East Hoathly Village Church.\r\n\r\nThe carnival takes two hours to snake through the village. The torch-bearing procession will form at 7pm before a two minutes silence at 8pm, and the final grand procession will leave the Foresters Arms for the War Memorial Playing Fields at 9pm after which the bonfire will be lit and the fireworks begin at 9.40pm.\r\n\r\nBlue Badge holders are advised to arrive early and speak to stewards about disabled access.

Social media has undoubtedly been an important contributing factor in that.”\r\n\r\n“While we have a good relationship with external service providers, there is no getting away from the fact that children’s mental health services have been under severe pressure and it is often schools who have to deal with the consequences. To be fair, the Government acknowledges the good job many schools are already doing in this area and the extra financial resource to help, continue and extend it is very welcome.\r\n\r\n“For our part, we felt we had a duty not only to our pupils but also to our staff to make sure we had the right skills and procedures in place so that we can identify potential problems early on and offer the right pathways for pupils who need help.”\r\n\r\nMr Blewitt said cuts to local authority services had made it harder to get the referrals for children who needed expert counselling.\r\n\r\n“It is believed that 80 per cent of mental health issues in adults stem from issues they have had to deal with as children, so funding for mental health in these early years is vitally important. Hopefully, we will now see referrals happen more quickly and other services and expertise will be made available as the statement from the Government suggests.”\r\n\r\nCaroline Hounsell, Director of Partnerships, Product Development &amp; Training and Youth Lead at MHFA England, said the aim was to help school staff to spot signs and symptoms of mental ill health and equip them with the skills and confidence to “start conversations on mental health, listen non-judgementally and guide young people to further support”.\r\n\r\n“It’s estimated that half of young adults with mental health issues have symptoms by the age of 15, and nearly 75 per cent by their late teens, with one in four children showing some evidence of mental ill health, including anxiety and depression,” said Ms Hounsell. “Social media, peer pressure, bullying and family units breaking down are all thought to be contributing factors, however issues affecting young people’s wellbeing can often remain undetected and untreated unless schools take an active role.”\r\nIn addition to introducing Mental Health First Aiders, LOGS plans to include a qualified counsellor on the teaching staff and run mental health awareness evenings for parents.\r\n\r\nMs Hounsell who has two boys of her own at the school applauded its approach.\r\n\r\n“MHFA is an important part of encouraging a ‘whole school’ approach to mental health, where all parts of the school community work together, and at every level, in their commitment to wellbeing. Childhood should be a positive, happy period in our lives – it’s the emotional well from which we draw strength to build resilience and meet many of the challenges we face in our adult lives. Together, parents, schools and children and young people’s mental health services all have an important part to play in this holistic approach.”\r\n\r\n--end--                                          5 December 2017','East Sussex school sends Mental Health First Aiders into class','','publish','closed','open','','mental-health-first-aid','','','2017-12-05 16:14:40','2017-12-05 16:14:40','',0,'http://www.leagraham.com/?p=14972',0,'post','',0),(14973,9,'2017-12-05 15:55:45','2017-12-05 15:55:45','<h1>East Sussex school sends Mental Health First Aiders into class</h1>\r\nEleven teachers and classroom assistants at an East Sussex school went to work as qualified Mental Health First Aiders for the first time on Monday – the same day the Government set out plans for transforming young people’s mental health services.\r\n\r\nThe staff from Lewes Old Grammar’s junior and senior schools, together with a senior member of the management team, volunteered to take part in two days of specialist training.

This followed a compulsory mental health awareness day held for all 126 staff in September.\r\n\r\nThe course was delivered by Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England – the organisation charged with delivering the government-funded Youth MHFA in Schools programme. As part of this initiative, every state secondary school in England is being offered the opportunity to train a member of staff as a Youth MHFA Champion, with the programme aiming to train more than 3,000 school staff by 2020.\r\n\r\nLOGS Headmaster Robert Blewitt said: “Like most schools, we have seen an increase in matters related to self-harm and eating disorders with more and more children of every age apparently not coping with ordinary day-to-day pressures.

She celebrated her own musical milestone this year with her hundredth birthday, and there’s no better way to mark this than by supporting a cause close to her heart.”\r\n\r\nAll net profits from the CD will go towards the Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity which supports under fives affected by cerebral palsy and associated diseases based in Cuckfield.\r\n\r\nSusan was encouraged to record the album by top jazz singer and BBC presenter Claire Martin OBE, who first met Susan through a work connection and offered to produce the project.\r\n\r\nSusan said: “I am thrilled and honoured to have such strong support from Claire, who not only produces the album but also joins me on vocals for one of the tracks, <em>Give Me The Simple Life</em>. Over the years, my performances have been predominantly in the classical genre but this has allowed me to explore an exciting smooth jazz repertoire.”\r\n\r\nOther tracks include <em>Ain’t Misbehavin’, Bye Bye Blackbird, Lullaby of Birdland, Summertime, </em>and <em>A</em> <em>Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square</em>.\r\n\r\nDedication to a Songbird will be released on Friday 15 December.
