What brilliant news that Michael is at number 10 in the album charts with his new album, Heroes.  With Mother's Day coming up soon we think it would make the perfect gift.  This album has a laid back late night feel to it, with a diverse mix of songs from Michael's heroes.  No doubt we will be hearing some of them during the tour in May/June this year and we can't wait.

Michael's now back in Hairspray at Wimbledon and we are off to see it this coming Wednesday.  It seems to have been a long time since we saw the show so we are really looking forward to catching up with Edna again.  Michael's time in the show is drawing to a close, his final performance being on 30 April in Bristol.  It's going to be hard for all of us to say goodbye to Edna - she's been a part of our lives for a long time now!

We are putting together the next issue of On The Ball at the moment, so if you have a story to tell please send it to us at admin@mbfc.co.uk.
