Life Begins Magazine Description
‚ÄúI‚Äôm 57 years old but I still feel like a 30 year old! ‚ÄĚ - Mrs A J Harrison
If this sounds familiar, don’t worry you’re in good company! Life Begins magazine is a unique community of people from all walks of life who are still full of the joys of Spring, even if Autumn is fast approaching!
Life Begins magazine takes a light-hearted look at life for the over 50’s covering subjects and articles that are of genuine interest to our readers. Some people would have us believe that once we reach 50, we’re past the best years of our lives but we think differently - we think the best years are yet to come!
Rather than talking to our readers like they‚Äôre ‚Äėold and past it‚Äô we talk to our readers like they‚Äôre our friends, offering helpful tips and advice along the way and also being a place where we can all learn from each other. . .
We hope that our magazine and web site will be a place of learning and education and we hope that we can also learn from our readers as we invite them to contribute to what we’re doing so that Life Begins is a living, vibrant community of fifty and sixty somethings enjoying life to the full!
If you’re in the 50 + age group but are still young at heart, Life Begins is for you! Look out for a copy coming through your door soon. Life Begins magazine is read by approximately 67, 500 readers. If you don’t currently receive a copy, you can subscribe to the magazine and receive a special copy posted out to you, along with a very special offer for our subscribers.

Reviews
Gregory Porter, the biggest UK selling jazz artist of 2017, last night (17 April 2018) played to a packed out audience at the BIC #Bournemouth. His mix of jazz and soul says much about his own life as does his musical inspiration which he takes from his musical father figure Nat King Cole. Unique in his style, Gregory Porter is able to bridge the age generations with his seductive style and musical mix which comes through in the integrity of his singing.

Stunningly brilliant - REVIEW of Miss Saigon now playing in #southampton - I last saw Miss Saigon around 20 years ago on Broadway so revisiting the show this time at the Mayflower Theatre Southampton I have to admit I did approach this production with a certain amount of trepidation wondering how much it may have changed over the years; needless to say in the end I was not disappointed. keep reading here http://www.lifebeginsmagazine.com/…/… /24/review-miss-saigon/

REVIEW: Mamma Mia
On a windswept rain-sodden summer night in Bournemouth, we were whisked away to the romance of a Greek island to enjoy what is undoubtedly the best summer feel-good show I have seen in Bournemouth in many a year. continue reading here http://www.lifebeginsmagazine.com/2017/08 /03/mama/

Review: The Shires, Bournemouth
In such a short space of time The Shires (Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes) have come from nowhere to stand at the forefront of the new UK country scene and in doing so have become the first British Country UK band to have an album in the UK official top ten charts. The duo only formed in 2014 after signing to Decca records and already have had two top selling albums, appeared on Radio 2 and have performed in iconic venues such as Shepherd‚Äôs Bush Empire. Not bad for a couple of singer/songwriters who come from the great country music metropolises that is Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire ‚Äď who needs Nashville? keep reading here http://www.lifebeginsmagazine.com/2017/04 /24/theshires/
