Madame Galina's Doings Diary

My CD would make such a lovely gift...

...indeed it would. Or just have one yourself.

It's called The Battle And The Breeze. Sea Songs given the relevant welly by myself on the lungs and Ross Power on the ivories.

The Queen had one to take away after I sang for her on the HMS Victory. (The rest of us got a slice of HMS Victory Chocolate Cake). And one greatly enjoyed it, I heard.

Joanna Lumley has one. We gigged together at the Whte Bait Supper and she signed my menu "to the fabulous Iestyn with admiration and love, cheers sweetie! xx".

My mother doesn't have one.

"If it's what Gareth David was telling me about; you singing on it; it isn't a tape like for the car is it?"

"You don't drive, mum."

"But Gareth David does when he picks me up at Woking station, and he won't be able to play it if it's a CD."

"He will, he has a CD player."

"But I haven't. I need the old tapes."

I then remembered that she had a DVD player; she could play it on that.

"What? And you'll appear like some kind of hieroglyphic?"

"You mean hologram. And no."

She has no DVDS but needs the player to check that the pirate DVDs she buys for my nieces (yes, we've told her time and time again, but she's Welsh) are what they say they are on the boxes. She bought them Bedknobs And Broomsticks when they were six and four respectively. Angela Lansbury was nowhere to be seen. But the knobs were bed ones, in a way...

GROOOOOAAAAAN!

Quiet down...

So, I need you to buy you of my CDs so I feel loved. Contact me through my website www.iestynedwards.com and we'll arrange one being sent out to you for six of your English pounds and fifty of the pence inc postage and packaging.

Help poor little me - as Dame Nellie Melba used to say before she dragged another stage hand into her dressing room and got out, first, her "everyday"-purse...
