Dear Cricket Times readers,
Well, I cannot believe we have come to the end of another year!
When I look back over the last 12 months, I can safely say 2015 has been a special year for me. This is because not only did I turn 70 years old, but I was deeply humbled to receive the award of a papal knight from the Roman Catholic Church.
Over the course of the last year I have bumped into many of you at some of the wonderful shows I have appeared in, around a host of different locations and venues.
I should give special mention to the recent tour I have just finished with the Osmonds as part of the Andy Williams Christmas Spectacular. This was an amazing tour which visited venues that were incredibly well attended – many even sold out – and everywhere the show went the reception was warm and lively.
So thank you for coming along and seeing one of these shows, or keeping in touch through my website, Facebook pages or Twitter feed.
As we fast approach the New Year, I am pleased to say I have plenty to look forward to over the next 12 months, such as:
- A 32-date spring season at the Lyndene Hotel in Blackpool
- Participating in a seven-date tour of a great comedy show called You Must Be Joking around Northern Ireland in February
- Embarking on a couple of trips to the Benidorm region of Spain to appear at some fantastic venues
- Visiting the Warner holiday resorts and heritage hotel locations on the Isle of Wight and in Harrogate
- The first significant moment is scheduled for Saturday 16 January when the Bishop of Salford will formally preside over a ceremony to present me with my papal honour.
So if I did not catch you during the last year, maybe I might get a chance to bump into you in 2016?
All that remains for me to do is to wish you and your family a very happy, peaceful and joyful Christmas season and a wonderful start to the New Year!
Jimmy Cricket (23 December 2015)
