The Living Room in Chester recently hosted an evening of psychic fun and intrigue with medium and clairvoyant Dawn Sherwood. A select group of guests spent two hours testing their own psychic ability whilst Dawn delivered messages for selected guests. A light hearted evening of fun and mystery ensured that the guests had a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining evening. With post session cool laid back entertainment provided by the very talented Joey AnKrah the evening proved to be incredibly memorable and a great success.

egends can be counted on our fingers and last week one of the biggest legends came to Liverpool and quite simply ROCKED the Echo Arena. Diana Ross spans over 40 years in the music industry and on Saturday night she sang her heart out at the Summer Pops...

A group of friends joined me in a box at the Echo Arena to marvel at the queen of soul.

One hour and forty five minutes of classic hits, five costume changes and amazing encores left our group breathless but feeling like we had truly witnessed an amazing performer.
