I have one day off before starting YOU`LL NEVER WALK ALONE by Nicky Alt & Bob Eaton who will direct at ROYAL COURT LIVERPOOL the play is about the history of LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB from its forming in1892 to present day, covering the glories & tragedies of my beloved club so as you can guess i am very excited about it there will be quite a few songs in the show too so if you`re a red hope to see you there, if not you might learn something!
 
Dec through to 22nd January i`ll be playing KING RAT in DICK WHITTINGTON at THEATRE ROYAL BATH THEATRE ROYAL BOOKING king rat is on Twitter @KingRatBath to see what he`s up to also tweet me on @MarkMoraghan.
 
so a busy year it will have been and a very enjoyable one! thank`s for visiting and coming to the shows.
