Amanda and I thoroughly enjoyed attending a fundraising performance organised by the Mayor of Solihull Cllr Sharon Ashram MBE to celebrate her year in office and the reopening of The Core Theatre.
The Core is a key hub of activity for the creative arts in Solihull and it was real treat to see such a wide range of local artists having an opportunity to showcase their talents.
In this week in which we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the Mayor also spoke very powerfully about the freedoms and opportunities that we now enjoy being a consequence of the actions and sacrifices of so many people during the Second World War.
