Throughout lockdown I have missed going to the cinema. Outdoor cinema is the new THING and now even the UK’s first cinematic experience by boat. There are only a few days left to enjoy this, though. The Openaire Float-In Cinema sponsored by luxury ice cream brand Häagen-Dazs is opened to the public until Sunday 27th September. It follows the pioneering global first ‘cinema on water’…

There they will be screening blockbuster hits and classic films including Joker, Rocketman, and feel-good, timeless classics such as Pretty Woman…
Months of lockdown and isolation have made us appreciate the little things in life. Stand Up at The O2, a comedy show with the backdrop of the City of London on the roof of the O2 was the best way to go back to my social life. The comedian hosting this special comedy event series is award-winning comedian Suzi Ruffell. She is genuine, hilarious and different from most comedians out there. She…

My first restaurant visit after easing of lockdown restrictions was the Hard Rock Cafe Piccadilly Circus, the most recent opening of the chain which pays tribute to the building’s prestigious heritage and unbeatable West End location. As a rock chick, I am always wowed by the walls adorned with authentic, one-of-a-kind memorabilia from decades of music history, featuring items from British music…
When the summer is here, as an Italian, the things I miss the most in London are the sunshine and Italian Gelato! Finally, I can get one of the two on tap. Badiani, one of the most famous artisan gelato producers in the world, born in 1932 in Florence, has now opened four stores across London along with a dedicated laboratory. To celebrate my birthday in style recently, I ordered Badiani’s ice…
SLADE have just announced their UK Tour for this December. Wouldn’t this be the best way to end this horrible year? It has become a tradition for me to attend the Slade gig every December. This would be my 3rd year in a row and it’s the number one motivation to get me through the forthcoming months. Going backstage with these super talented musicians and singing along their incredible live…

Time really flies … Can it really be thirty years since multi-platinum UK soul legends The Brand New Heavies’ debut album first strutted its way into the public eye with a romantic’s heart, a hedonist’s spirit and a Superfly sensibility? May 1990 The Brand New Heavies released ‘that blue album’ and with it came a winning formula which would go on to earn them 16 top 40 hits and three…
During the pandemic lockdown this year, the ONE thing I have missed the most was rehearsing with the band and performing at live gigs. Over the past three months, I have written a few songs (a first for me!), I have created the London Mums choir thanks to the advice of the wonderful vocal coach to the stars Cece Sammy and I have performed my own song with musicians at the park. I even sung my own…
