Re. new Oasis News Blog by Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

Maybe 

This is a bit of good news, or ought I to say, Definitely Maybe ?!


Aha!


Anyway, well, yes, as a Blogger and an Artist, I like to write, of course, "the blog". 

Though, attaining an A-Level in English Language and Literature in one year, a fair few years after leaving school, and, completing a Creative Writing module as part of my Degree, has attributed to this hobby, but, dare I say?!  well, yes, I shall!  vocation of mine.

So, I spotted this pic. today, no less (as in, they make an announcement, also, today) in my "memories" on the social platform, yes, you guessed it, Facebook, and, it inspired me, to write a blog BCos, well not only is this photograph relevant it's pretty interesting:

The Ferret, aka The Mad Ferret is now, well, known as kinda The music venue in Preston, Lancashire. It's also been supported by Ed Sheeran, received funding (much sought after and well earnt) from the Council as well as going to be developed with help from other backers - as far as I know.

And, this photo is from when I performed at The Ferret, with the mural of Oasis as the backdrop, then. 

(I continue to support The Ferret when I can.)

So, here I am [See pic.], only 14 years ago, (and, my biceps are just as strong, if not more, ahem, "maybe", No, they're definitely, much more than just maybe, as is my repertoire That's also so much more aswell as is my musical prowess - well, let's just say, as I am, let's face it promoting Oasis by even writing this blog, in true Gallagher brothers style This is what I'm talking about!)

I think, that That actually could have been the longest insert/bracket I have evor written, no, it's Definitely Maybe up there with the best of them.

Every punn intended!

Anyhow,

 Good Luck OASIS!

PLUG: Jo Whiley's Sinéad O'Connor Show By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

 I am thankful to and for Sinéad O'Connor and her legacy.  

Thanks to the brilliant radio presenter Jo Whiley's (Radio 2.) recent show themed: Remembering Sinéad O'Connor: from her passing one year ago, btw the show's ongoing - check it out It's Obvs ace - "A Life In Ten Songs" as regards to Sinéad's best songs ever. I'm guessing Tho., again it's always going to be personal choice; I'm sure it's fabulous And it's definitely on my To Do list.

However, in the mean time, as an avid radio listener, I keep catching Sinéad's songs on Jo's shows.

"Troy", I listened to this evening, it's amazing - I'm.not sure if I've heard it before, though I just keep on learnin'!


I'm my experience:

Sinéad O'Connor was very generous. She very kindly gave me her permission, via my request and her agent to feature her song in my Reach Out video:

https://handeldoesit.blogspot.com/2023/07/a-blog-regarding-recent-untimely.html

Regardless of the situation/my circumstances I shall always be grateful for this.  However, I shall reiterate this: the message, if my video, still, stands. I love ❤️ you son, Jerome, and always will. 


Thank you Sinéad O'Connor.
