Renewed Interest in Ruby

I have known for quite some time that moves are afoot in Belfast to possibly staging a play on Ruby's life. It is planned to be a one act play using one actor (female) playing the part of Ruby. Nothing has yet been finalized but plans are slowly unravelling for the play to be staged at some kind of ...

Ruby... My Precious Gem

Friends/Fans Quite some time ago the publisher of my book left the publishing business for another venture. As a consequence copies of my book came to an end. When this happened I turned to Kindle and had it converted. This is old news but should anyone consider Kindle as an alternative the book is ...

Re: Ruby - 21st Anniversary

I think the image we all have of RUBY in our minds is the all important one. That is the way I shall always remember Ruby, she was, and will always be, a very beautiful and attractive young woman.

Re: Anniversary

Thank you Henry . . .

I am hoping that the roses I placed on Ruby's grave lasted until the 16th. I find it quite unbelievable that Ruby passed away 20yrs ago. A very sad day indeed . . .

Re: youtube

I'm not too sure but the track may have been recorded when Ruby appeared at The New Cresta Cabaret Restaurant . . . . . I see that you (Gerald) have changed to The Winter Scene - Quite appropriate. I would like to think that the change will bring comments from other Friends/Fans.....

Re: Rubys Fontana Records

Hello Martin, The recording studios were -Philips/Fontana studios. They were in the Bayswater area. Interestingly they went to the trouble to create a mood with decor and lighting, the only studios I ever came across that did this. Their equipment was first class. For anyone interested, I have estab...

This is extremely helpful and cuts out Hotel costs which is extremely helpful. By travelling...

Re: Ruby's grave

I am hopeful of being able to make the return journey to Torquay to tend Ruby's grave. My very good friend - Keith Seeley - has offered to drive me there again and I have provisionally booked overnight accommodation on Sunday Dec, 3rd. I am praying for good weather and traffic conditions.
