A Year in Australia! It’s Krazy Kevin, reporting from Down Under … It’s been 12 months now since I left beautiful Bahrain and yes, I still miss it so much.

Lots of things have been happening for me. I now have a daily radio show from 4pm-6pm on City FM 87.6 and recently I interviewed a lady from the Leukaemia Foundation. During our chat she told me about the ‘World’s Greatest Shave’ where people get donations to have their head shaved and I said: “Can Krazy Kevin do it too?” She nearly fell off the chair, but she said, yes!

This will be the third time I have shaved my head for charity. The first was way back in the early 1990s when a football-playing friend of mine suffered a brain tumour. I had my hair shaved off on the centre spot of Cambridge United FC pitch at half-time with 7,000 people looking on, buckets were sent around the crowd and we made enough money to send Peter and his wife on a lovely holiday.
 
Fast forward to Bahrain when we put together the famous ‘Hands across the Water’ appeal which raised more than BD55,000. During that campaign I had my head half-shaved for three weeks then fully-shaved.
 
So, onto the present day, and I am asking for anyone just to have a look at this link  https://my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/krazykevin and if you have any money to spare for a good cause, please send it in.

Krazy Kevin, Australia.

PS: And, I will send GulfWeekly my after photo … Scary thought, ’eh?

I must write to disagree wholeheartedly with Anasuya Kesavan’s show review of Annie by students of MASK at the British Club (GulfWeekly, issue 6).

Her criticism of Rory Adamson was totally unfair. In my opinion his role as Daddy Warbucks was convincing and he managed the switch from reluctant host to doting potential stepfather with aplomb!

As for her finding fault with the sets, I cannot believe we were watching the same show! And, of all the productions I’ve seen I think the placing of the musicians by the side of the British Club stage was the best yet, not infringing on the audience and still within easy sight of the cast.

I think you need to find another reviewer.

Angry MASK parent,
name and address supplied.

Editor’s note: Reviews are the personal opinion of the writer and often performances can vary from show to show.

I just wanted to let you know that Anasuya Kesavan’s feature on the Path of Pearls and Manama, the Capital of Arab Culture 2012, was truly remarkable. She shed light on the evening as well as the programme and I do hope readers found it both informative and interesting.

Thank you so much for all your efforts. Kind regards,

Suha Matar,
