Nice to be back

Hello,

You might have been wondering where the website and blog had gone. Well, so were we! We have had major problems with the web hosting company, which has resulted in 7 weeks with no web presence. Anyway, we have now changed the host, and are back. We also have a Facebook page now, so why not join us there, just go to facebook/mickmiller.

On The TV

The new series of "IDEAL" starts on 17th August at 10.30 pm. Have a look at the trailer here

Also, Watch out over the next few Sunday evenings on ITV 1 for a series called "The Unforgettables" This is a series of documentaries about some of the great entertainers who are sadly no longer with us. Each program deals with one subject, and features the family and close friends of the subject. I was asked to talk about one of my great friends, Mike Read. So try and catch it, it will be a fantastic tribute to a lovely man.

Back Home

Hi,

sorry it's been a while since I wrote anything here, but it's been more of the same, lot's of cruise ships. It's all been good, and I do enjoy doing them. It's the flying I hate.

I have now started back on Blackpool's North Pier on Wednesday nights with the legend that is Frank Carson. He hasn't changed a bit, he might be in his 80's, but he still has them rolling in the aisles. Although I am there for the season, I will be missing for some of the weeks, due to prior commitments. So please check when you book your tickets.

I appeared as part of a comedy night at Ricky (Jim Royle) Tomlinson's new cabaret venue, "The Green Room" in Duke St. in Liverpool the other week. I was on with Jimmy Cricket and Duncan Norvelle. This is a new venue, and the team behind it deserve success. They really looked after us, and we had a great night.

The evening was reviewed by Angie Sammons on www.liverpoolconfidential.com if you want to have a look.

Here's a sample

Miller, unlike the others, has evolved with the zeitgeist. He does cracking observational comedy that gets down with both the old bastards and the kids.

Anyone who can use the word, "Zeitgeist" in a review must know what they're talking about! So I'm just going to check a dictionary to make sure that it isn't derogatory!!!!!!

So, I've been home to Liverpool, and am back on the Pier, so I really feel like I am Back Home at the moment.

Don't forget to say hello if you come down to the pier.

Blackpool FC get promoted

What a great day we had going to Wembley. It was an early start, picking everyone up and getting on the motorway about 7.00 am. Every car, van, minibus, limo and coach was flying orange flags and scarves. But when we got near Preston, their fans had put up signs and banners on the motor way bridges, some of which were unrepeatable! But that's what rival fans do, and we took it all in good heart. The funniest thing we saw, was a young teenager stood on a bridge over the M6 near Preston. He had got up early, just to go and stand there to give all the Blackpool supporters the one fingered salute, oh how we laughed.

We made good time, and stopped at the services for a coffee. The car park was full of cars, all with orange flags and banners. Inside the services, everyone seemed to be wearing orange. If you didn't know what was happening, you could be mistaken for thinking that this was a Guantanamo Bay Reunion or an Easyjet Convention.

We arrived at Wembley by about 11.30 am and soaked in the atmosphere. It was fantastic and the Cardiff fans were great. Wembley Stadium is quite special, and has lost none of it's kudos.

After a nail-biting 90 minutes, Blackpool won. People were crying, and I have to say it was quite an emotional time. I still can't believe that Blackpool FC are now a Premiership Club. Well done lads, you did the town proud.

The journey home was long, but fun. Everyone was waving to each other as they overtook and giving the thumbs up. When we got back, we went out for a drink. Everywhere quickly filled up with orange shirted people. It had been a long day, but I'm sure nobody wanted it to end.

One quote said it all, "The future's bright, the future's TANGERINE"

We're going to Wem-ber-leeee

I have lived in Blackpool for many years now, and it's great to see Blackpool FC doing so well. They are one match away from Premiership football, and I'm going to be there cheering them on. I'll be making my way down to London with thousands of others from Blackpool. So if you're going too, let's make some noise and cheer the lads on. Everyone is getting quite excited in Blackpool. I even did an interview on Sky Sports News today, so "Come on you Tangerines!"

Holidays, Ash and Celtic

Hi,

I'm back from my break in Tenerife, I made it back just in time. I had to be back for a gig at Warner's Alvaston Hall. This is a great venue for me to do. I have known Bob Roberts, the Entertainments Manager for a long time, so we get the chance to catch up. Also, the band are old friends, so we just have a fun night. I left the wife and family over there in Tenerife, but the Volcanic Ash has stopped them from getting home. If anyone is passing Tenerife in a private luxury yacht, and heading back to the UK with some free space, call me!!!!

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of entertaining at The Celtic Player of The Year Awards at The Thistle Hotel in Glasgow. It was a great evening, and I'd like to thank Tony Hamilton and Celtic FC for their fine hospitality.

Hope everyone is OK and not too inconvenienced by the ash!

Mick
