BRITISH DRESSAGE – PARA MATTERS …
Last night Myerscough International Arena hosted the first Equissage Pulse Para Dressage Winter Championships and Russell and Louise were their guests of honour.
It wasn’t an occasion for Russell to sing but he did, apparently, present prizes and make a speech (unfortunately we don’t have details).
Several pictures have been posted to social media and it does look as if a great time was had despite the awful weather outside.
Well done, everyone!

ON THE RADIO …
Russell has been on BBC local radio stations recently. Two that we know of are Radio Derby with Steve Jordan and BBC Three Counties with Nick Coffer, the latter being particularly enjoyable and all the more so if you’re a fan of The Masked Singer!
and on YouTube …
Russell can be seen and heard in the role of (we believe) ‘Dandini’ in the pantomime ‘Cinderalla’ at the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford in 1997.
