COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW CANCELLED MARCH 12TH 2019


Sadly had to cancel Easy Listening show due to oncoming Storm Gareth with eighty mile winds
 impeding my travel arrangements . These storms we get on the North Wales coast  are very
annoying but at my age it is better to be careful rather than stupid. I pass the coast and beach of
Llandudno as well as storm winds from both North and West coasts. I will be back next week on
Tuesday expecting the weather to have settled down.
