Luciano Pavarotti was one of the best-loved international personalities of the 20th century. A singer who broke free of opera houses to perform before massive audiences in huge arenas around the world, becoming in the process the richest opera singer in history.John Duffus presented and worked on a dozen concerts with Pavarotti, including the last he ever sang to a paying public, as well as others with such artists as Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Isaac Stern and fellow tenors Plácido Domingo and José CarrerasBlessed with a glorious voice, described as "a freak of nature that comes very rarely in 100 years", Pavarotti seemingly had it all. After his entry into arenas, though, disasters began to strike with increasing regularity. He was cancelling previously scheduled concerts and operas virtually at a whim. The ego had become as large as his girth.The backstage shenanigans of the promoters, agents and others who worked on these concerts have never been revealed, until now.

A Chartered Manager by Profession, Dr Malcolm Charles has had a long and distinguished career in the field of Business Administration, Management & Corporate Governance, ever since entering that field as a 'Statistics Officer & Management Trainee' upon completion at St Marys College (local high school) in the late 1960s.He later pursued studies in the UK, graduating in the field of Business Management & Sustainability, returning home to serve with Geest Industries and its various subsidiary Boards spanning the Windward Islands, which business supported some 22,000 Registered Banana Farmers at its peak...The text of this book therefore seeks to enlighten interested readers on the 'socio-economic impact' the Banana Industry had provided during its 'hay day' and the role played by the Geest Group across the Windward Islands, with which the Author and his eclectic range of contributors had been affiliated, for some three (3) plus decades.Today, he humbly shares his 'catalogue of research', having earlier been decorated by the late HM Queen Elizabeth II as an honorary 'Officer of the British Empire'(OBE) for dedicating lifelong services to 'Business Development & Sustainability' and later, the Queens Jubilee Medal for his (apparent) 'unbridled Humanitarianism'.

'Poets think differently to the rest of us. Dave thinks differently to the rest of the poets.'Richard Hawley'Everyone needs this Dave in their lives.'Nick BanksThey say every cloud has a silver lining.This book of poems and photographs is the result of IRRITATING THE SILVER LINING with the grit of Dave Kurley's imagination for the last couple of years. In here you will find a veritable downpour of little pearls, perfectly formed. There is love of many different kinds. Misplaced anger. Grief and loss. Musings on anxiety and depression. The pandemic (inevitably). And there is open-mouthed wonder at the nature that surrounds us. Oh, and some of it's pretty funny, too.Dave Kurley is constantly amazed by the fact he was born in Sheffield in 1962. He has been, at various times, an actor, a dry stone waller, a civil servant, a stand-up comedian, a sales rep, a singer, a pub manager, a playwright, a call centre operative and a podcaster. This list is neither exhaustive nor complete. Currently, he is a prize-winning poet and a conversational English tutor. These things are subject to change.He is equally amazed that these days he lives in central Portugal, with his lovely wife Alison (this is not subject to change), and a lot of sunshine and butterflies. He enjoys performing his poetry, both live and online. You'll find him in Kurleybobs' Poetry Corner on Instagram or Facebook. Say hello when you get there. He'd like that.

"Kelvin's happy place is the River Severn, which has flowed through his veins and drenched his memory cells since he was knee high. To share Kelvin's love of angling and to feel the enthusiasm and joy it has brought him and still brings him, through his writing, is a delight."Nick Fisher, creator and writer of Screaming Reels, Dirty Tackle and The River Cottage Book of Fish.Halcyon days are recollected for anglers and all lovers of rivers, lakes, and the British (and Australian!) countryside in this heart-warming personal memoir set throughout the seasons. From warm summer evenings to midwinter madness fishing in temperatures of minus five degrees, this collection of stories will delight anglers and non-anglers alike.Born in a Shropshire village near the River Severn, the river, its fishing, its countryside, and its history has featured strongly throughout Kelvin's life from an early age. From early casts for perch, barbel and chub (without too much success, as you will read) at Ironbridge and Jackfield, to adulthood fishing for barbel and chub (with marginally more success) at Buildwas, Atcham and Bewdley, the river has always been a place of peace and retreat, away from the stresses of work and modern life.Kelvin is a published author in the areas of business, finance, accounting, and personal finance, but has always had the desire to write a book about the river which has featured so much in his life, and which has bought him so much pleasure over the years. This is that book.

Howard Westcott is a new author, but has always had a passion to write. He was born and brought up in South Wales during the 50's, 60's and 70's and the reason for these books is to reflect the changes that happened through his eyes.This book ' A Life Unfolding' is the first of a trilogy, the second book will be ' A Welshman Abroad' looking at the life he has lived abroad over the last 20 years and finally ' 'Wales Revisited', where he compares his first impressions as he grew up compared to the same journey over 50 years later.This first book is unashamedly nostalgic and tries to evoke memories in people wherever they were born and brought up'.
