News Round

We had a couple of guest

speakers come into the ser-

vice this month.

First up we had an informa-

tion session on Hepatitis C

which was very informative

and showed how much the

treatment has

improved

over the

years.

Next up we had SAMH who

came in to talk about em-

ployment opportunities and

their Individual Placement

Support and how it was

linked to the Fair Start

Service. This

is a great

chance for in-

dividuals to get

supported into

employment and achieve

their future goals.

Well believe it or not Christ-

mas is fast approaching!!!

We’ve been busy getting or-

ganised for our Christmas

Fete, Christmas Lunch and

Christmas Choir perform-

ance!!!! We’ll definitely be

in the festive spirit come the

big day!!

Rock’n’roll, particularly Elvis, Indie Music, Oasis and Stone roses.

4. What's your favourite song to sing, and or to play?

I enjoy singing ‘Cant help Falling in Love’, and playing ‘Whatever’ by Oasis.

Yes, a few, including a Christmas one called ‘Christmas Morn’.

6. Have you ever gigged?

Several times, including St Frances's church, The Lee Park Hotel, and The Colonial Bar.

7. Do you play in a band?

Yes, a three piece called ‘The Wave’, we rehearse weekly in the Bunker at Bonnybridge.

I prefer solo as i can play just what i want, but do enjoy the band for the banter, social aspect and friendship.

9. Would you ever consider X Factor or the Voice?

I don't feel I'm good enough for that yet, but it would be good to meet Ayda Wiliams. Id maybe give Robbie a run for his money.
