Marie Lloyd, Lionel Bart and Georgia Brown are figures gay sex video that have loomed large in my life since before I can remember. They are the characterization of everything that is unique about the history of British Popular Music.

Growing up watching my own mother Polly Perkins perform ‘As Long As He Needs me’ in old theatres, London pubs and Cabaret clubs on the Costa Del Sol throughout the 80’s made me fall in love with three things: the power of melody, the female torch singer, and as Michael Chekhov once said, an actor’s ability to burn inside, but with an outer ease.

All three of these are possessed effortlessly by actress Jessie Wallace, as surely as a virago carries the winning weaponry to all her victories.

Over the last two years, I have had the great pleasure of performing with Miss Wallace, and indeed, I introduced her to the music of Georgia Brown.  On first meeting Miss Wallace, I was amazed how an artist of her talent and character had not already added Georgia’s arrangement of ‘A Little of What You Fancy’ to her repertoire. After all, no one else had.  As far as I am concerned, she is now the natural guardian of that song.  We quickly corrected this and over the last two years, with my band, Miss Wallace and I performed the song together on many occasions. These were very proud occasions and the music means something incredibly important to me.

Working with her is always a beautiful journey into the world of instinct, and as Michael Attenborough buy generic diflucan online said to me after he saw Miss Wallace’s showreel, ‘this is an actress who has the focus of a laser beam.’

After performing ‘A Little Of What You Fancy’ with Miss Wallace on stage in small venues in London, I always felt as if the audience were party to a great secret.  Not just Miss Wallace’s voice, but also the rare skill she has in ‘acting through song’. Something often talked about in critiques of performers, but very rarely anything other than just talk.  With Miss Wallace, it is real.

After her performance on Bruce’s Hall of Fame tonight on BBC One, I was overcome with emotion, excitement and pride. To watch it being sung by someone, who like music itself, means more to me than I can explain, is nothing less than finding a treasure.  But more importantly, the secret is finally out.

This is the real deal. Quality and class.

Having already written a musical myself porn cartoon that has a perfect part for Miss Wallace, I happily fear that I will now have to get in the queue. That is, as long as Lloyd Webber, Cameron Mackintosh et al have seen what I have seen: An authentic talent in it’s prime, that is capable of taking British Musical Theatre back to it’s roots, so that British Musical Theatre may enjoy a new future, free from juke box scripts or adaptations from popular films.  A future that British Musical Theatre is crying out for and so richly deserves.

The leading lady of that future has now arrived.
