Sad to tell Helen Kay fans out there that my mum died the day before yesterday. It is too soon to put her into the past tense. She has such a presence -we are keeping her in the present tense!
From our Christmas special Makar to Cracker, @SuzanneBonnar3 and her daughter Marissa perform 'The Christmas Song'. Have yourself a merry little Christmas, folks!

Just a wee update about Marissa's performance at RCS which I posted via my blog for all family and friends. The production of The Speculator by David Greig is online via RCS website.
It's getting closer! Next wk on Thu 17 Dec our Makar to Makar Christmas special will stream via @NTSonline's YouTube. Guests include Carol Ann Duffy, Jen Hadfield & Imtiaz Dharker plus Mercury Music Award-nom'd Kathryn Williams.

When my mum was in her care home under lockdown I sang this song with her every week. So amazing to have her home and sing it in person with @SuzanneBonnar3 🤎❤️
Okay, big announcement time. #Makar2Makar is returning for two last shows. A Christmas special on Thursday 17 December and Burns Night special on Jan 28 December. We'll reveal the full bill for M2M's Xmas special on St Andrews Day, although we might share one name soonish....
@MarcusRashford I cannot find the words to express how much I respect and value your contribution on this journey Marcus. I am humbled by your commitment, integrity and compassionate understanding for those that face such challenging times due to economic inequality in our society. Thank you ❤️
