Initially I was down hearted because the company was such a small one but everyone has to start somewhere, I was lucky enough to play some great roles in both productions- Nutcracker Prince, Russian and Fritz In Nutcracker and Summer Pas de Deux and Prince's Friend in Cinderella.

The tour was a great experience for me as we toured all over the UK and Ireland, in some lovely theatres and some that were... not so good...
At the same time as I was working with BTUK, Vienna Festival Ballet Contacted me and asked if I wanted to perform the Bluebird in their production of Sleeping Beauty. I thought "Hell yes!" as it was one of the roles on my list to do before I retired. Vienna Festival Ballet was a lot of fun (although I was only there for a limited run) as it gave me a chance to dance a huge role with a big company! I also met a good friend of mine, Phil King, who was dancing the lead, Prince Desire.
