Mumma Grimmer

I was just reflecting on 2011 as you tend to do at this time of year and my journey, not only as a mother, (I have been doing that for 37years) I have the most wonderful children, Grandchildren,extended family and friends in the world, not just as a published writer, poet but I have had the great privilege of promoting one of the finest and most talented bands in the South of England.


Brothers Grimmer have gone from strength to strength in 2011 But without the obvious collective talent of the band I would have had nothing to promote, individually they bring their own special talent to the mix and they are real Gents, I am proud to call 3 of them my son's, Lee, Embryopup, (my eldest) he had 2 venue stages he wanted to play, the 02 Academy and the Pavilion, B,mouth and with the help of John Lory and talent Call he fulfilled those ambitions, Matthew Guru (middle son) and drummer, arguably the best in the south not only talented but gifted and there is much more to him than you see there on the stage, he is a life coach and can teach and talk you through any form of meditation and mental health problem you may be suffering, how? Well because he has been there and as his Mother I have watched him heal himself from both mental and physical threats to his life, he is also very humble about his talent and Mike Macko, as most of you know Mike has Aspergers Syndrome and is the dancer with the band, Mike has been a dance teacher with DFA under the guidance of Stella Mavris for 4 years, he has probably had the most challenging life of all of them, Yet he has taught and performed with the kids at the Lighthouse Poole and alongside his Brothers at the Gigs, he has empathy and understanding of kids with disabilities and takes them under his wing, 2012 will see his tribute show to Michael Jackson and most of you will know that Mike was a big fan.
 (Everytime my boys leave me they kiss me goodbye and tell me they love me and that means the world)


 Of course there are 2 more, very talented Musicians in the Brothers Grimmer, Shawn Bo-bo our bass player, Shawn has had a very challenging year, health wise and personally and yet he doesn't let it get him down, the show must go on and Steve Teflon, our shy lead Guitarist, Steve has a lot to give and gives a lot.

 So although I have been successfully promoting Brothers Grimmer and achieved so much through 2011 with publishing writing promoting etc I couldn't have done it without the help of Brothers Grimmer and you, all the friends and supporters on facebook and the many friends old and new and fans I have met along the way and my personal journey as Mumma Grimmer. I thank each and everyone of you for everything and I love you all, Happy New Yearl xxx
