About Me

Done some Charity stuff for the Chest Heart And Stroke Society also The Maggie's Centre and Kirkie Kids After School Club I've performed in a few care homes in Glasgow (well I am a Support Worker/Carer with a well known care organisation) so I know how hard it can be to raise funds at times (reasonably priced to book) going to do a wee set for the Glasgow Old People's Welfare Society soon. Recently found out that my brother might be making a come back (Johnny North) he was a singer/comedian/compere who had to give up after suffering a few strokes. Who knows? the Twigg brothers could be playing as a duet together somewhere near you SOON!! Perish the thought HA-HA. Oh ye I enjoyed auditioning for Britain's Got Talent on 16/11/07 perhaps if we all think positive I might get called back in Jan 08
