Hmm it was always going to come up eventually, being an Inter-web connected Geek running and hosting sites for other people. I've been approach regarding some items posted on a site that I host. Nothing serious (yet), so I'm covering my ass here and stating my personal thoughts on freedom of speech.

Basically as long as you (some one posting stories/blogs on a Phoenix Productions hosted service) are not being defamatory (or in this case it would be specifically libelous) you are free to say what you like. You can be contraversial, angry, sad...I don't care. I'm not going to edit your opinions(to be perfectly honest there's a good chance I've not even read your opinion) BUT I am not stupid enough to let you do anything ILLEGAL. Of course whether I think a post is libelous or not is an entirely different question.

Anyway my server, my money, MY RULES (and what ever pertinent legal ones apply too ;-) )

People keep asking me what I'm working on at the moment, and keep saying an "Old Time Music Hall". To which they say "which one?". ITS MUSIC HALL not Musical!

But in all seriousness it is a type of show that I really enjoy doing, especially as it is the perfect Anti-panto christmas show. Ok there's no real reference to Christmas in the whole show,but it does give a nice (and I am choosing to use that word here) warm feeling, and audiences love it! We have had all sorts of audiences, older folk right through to your modern urban twenty somethings. And all of them come out of the show feeling quite chirpy and perky.

Of course audience participation makes a big different. All of the songs are catchy and easy to pick up.

All I do have to say is next year we bring back the "Green Eyed Idol" cos its absolutely freaking fantastic!

its been a while since the last post on this random collection of ramblings. Mostly I've been doing shows (pretty much since October-ish) and just working the day job :-(
