Catch up!

Why hello there......
So this is my first ever blog post and I hope it is not my last! So for a while I have thought I should be writing about the happenings in my life but have not gotten around to it but this last few months I have been studying Web Communications as part of my Bachelor in Fine Arts & Visual Culture and have been introduced again to the 'phenomenon' that is blogging and sharing your thoughts online.  So as part of our course we are to sign up to a blog platform and work on our online presence, so here I am.

I have entitled this blog "A Song for Everything" because being a singer I tend to have a song for every situation and that follows through for all my family (we are all singers).  I thought that I would jot down thoughts about my singing trips and exploits and other things which bring music to mind. This happens often so you may see more than one post up!

I do wish that I had started writing this earlier in the year as I have travelled and toured in the UK with the band I'm in, the Melbourne Staff Band , as we were apart of the 120 year celebrations of the International Staff Band.  With this tour besides having a fabulous time and loving singing for different people over 10 days, I also got to sing in the Royal Albert Hall in London, a dream come true!!!


It was a truly amazing experience and I will never forget it!

Well that's all for today.  The group I am in Soul Factor Gospel Choir is heading to Cobram, Victoria this weekend so I am sure to report back about that!

Be the Hero of your story....

Well after around 4 months of rehearsal the time has come for us to open "Big Fish" the Musical. Tonight is the Preview before tomorrow Opening Night and I am so excited to share it with audiences and bring the SA Premiere to Adelaide! You may have gathered from other posts that I LOVE this musical and the role that I am playing. Of all the lead roles I have played, this one, Sandra Bloom, is a special one. But I think that has a lot to do with the cast, production team and all those involved with putting this show on. It has been such a wonderful rehearsal period creating something beautiful and for that I feel very blessed. I get to sing some beautiful songs, be a mother and grandmother and have red hair! Plus you don't want to miss my blue Sparkly dress!! If you are trying to decide whether to come to it as you don't know the story or music I encourage you to take a leap and come along. This music had me from the first listen and the story is so full of heart ...

Music for Mums!

Well I haven't written for a while, sorry about that! I have been so busy with trying to do assignments, work, rehearse, sing, teach its been crazy!!! anyway so Mother's Day is this weekend. The day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who do so much for us and loves us tremendously. So what are you doing for your Mum this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Promises you don't intend to keep? (line from Beauty & the Beast hehe!!) Spa Treatment? Lunch cooked by you? Movies? I'd love to hear some of your ideas. This year, as it will be a tough one, the first without Alex, we are all flying to Tassie to be with my sister and her husband away from home. It should be a lovely time and the first time Mum & Dad have seen my sisters house. (For Liv and I, its the 3rd time there in less than 6 months!) Of course, as we are there we, The Raymond Sisters, have been booked to sing at the Red Shield Festival Saturday at the Bellerive Boardwalk. We are doing a 30m...

Happy Birthday Songs!

So I'm now 31! I can not believe a year has already passed since my 30th and all that was going on at that time. There I was last year thinking "Oh my goodness, I'm in a new age range I've hit 30" and that year has already past. Well, I can say that being in your 30's is not bad actually and if anything I am happy I'm here, yes minus a few things I thought I would have gained in that 30th year but I am happy, healthy and surrounded by those who love me so I am extremely grateful. This years birthday was a lot less flashy than last years (thank goodness because that was a lot of work haha!) but lovely all the same. It began actually on Saturday, my sister Liv had organised a breakfast and surprised me by inviting some of girlfriends to join us. The café we went to was Harvest in Mylor, South Australia. It was really adorable and encourage you to check it out some time. We sat outside in gorgeous weather, under the tress and enjoyed each others company and...
