OBVIOUSLY any good crew would check everything is in order before lighting up anything!

Oh so right Ma-am I couldn't agree more, but 'tis a little less stressful to check than reset..... is it not.... anyway we did it and she went like a bird [no pun intended] week last Tuesday for BBC film crew..

She will be performing this Sunday at CWJs day as STAR of the show and "Tina" has a surprise for you as well... so come and see............it'll be worth it..
