Speaking Life!

What a beautiful day!! I am so grateful for days like these and the weekend we just had. Sun, flowers and butterflies make me happy and glad that winter is behind us!

I had a great night last Friday singing with Marion City Band for their annual charity concert. This year's charity was Legacy and it was wonderful to hear of their work and support them as they do so much for our servicemen and women. I sang an array songs which were then added to a great mix of wartime and favourite songs of those wartime eras. Some of my songs were Secret Love, Someone to Watch Over Me, All that Jazz, Sway and Summertime. The audience were great and thoroughly enjoyed the music. Are any of those songs favourites of yours?
It was great to sing with a brass band again and to share with a new audience.

Do you ever think or take notice of the words that you speak? Do you realise that it could be affecting your life, your relationships, your work? I myself an a talker, if you know me you may be laughing to yourself right now haha! I admit it and I come from a family of talkers. We speak our minds and also sort out problems verbally which of course can sometimes lead to arguments until we sort it out but for the most part I am a positive person and so try to keep my works positive.
Sometimes life can cause us to become negative and complain or we might get caught up talking about someone in a negative way. I admit to this myself at times and I am conscious of wanting to change this.

On the weekend it was bought to my attention again that what we say can be used for good or bad and can really hurt people.  I don't want this to be the case with me and God doesn't either. He wants us to be encourages and speak life into others. A verse that I pray is


So what are your words saying about you? So let's try and speak life and love dear people!

Have a great week

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow....

"There's a bright golden haze on the meadow....." Yes there is! Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm is BACK for its fourth season and opens this Thursday. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that this is a special production and the role of Laurey is one I love to play! This year is the 75th Anniversary of the Production of Oklahoma! and so it is wonderful to be performing it again in the same year. Although in rather milder weather! The Farm, Four Oaks at Littlehampton is beautifully green and bursting with life. The animals are in full voice as in the wonderful cast. Immerse yourself in this unique family-friendly experience, a beloved classic with live horses, windmill, and a country fair of delicious treats & wares. If the last 3 seasons feedback is anything to go by, you will LOVE IT!! If you have seen it before, you will know what I am talking about and you should tell others. Or come along again and bring some new fr

All Shook Up!

I am blessed. A week ago I got back from an amazing singing trip. Cruising the seas, performing with amazing musicians and performers, 16 shows in 7 days, plenty of food and a ton of laughs - I am still smiling. The Cruise 'N Groove Elvis Meets the Legends Cruise was a fantastic week. I had never been on a cruise before so it was quite an experience, I loved the food and the weather was fantastic (only a bit of rockiness to contend with) and we visited Mare and Noumea in New Caledonia.  I am reasonably new to the Elvis world and so this was an eye opener for that as well but I actually loved it. Elvis fans are exceptionally passionate and in some ways quite a wonder.  I was on this trip as a backing vocalist with the Tributes in Concert Band or TIC Band and we backed all of the headlining Elvis Tribute Artists. So to the band first, what a privilege it was to perform with them. Each and everyone of them super talented (to the point, that I would get caught watching them at t

MMMBop and road trip classics 😉

Road trip singalongs are the best! Do you agree?  What are your favourite songs to sing? Do you have specific lists or eras or styles of music you listen/sing to?  For me it usually depends who I am travelling with but nothing beats a good 80s/90s song list.... So last weekend I was on a road trip to Halls Gap with my sister, my brother in law and my niece and nephew. We had a fabulous time singing away the hours to many a favourite. Of course the kids occasionally asked for a song they knew but we thought it was important we listened to the classics haha 😜 We headed to Halls Gap for NanaFest 2019! A weekend to celebrate the 90th Birthday of my Nana Dawn. Staying in cabins and tents the family came from Victoria and SA and shared a weekend of catching up, a party, jumping pillows and bonfires. I do love my family, there is a a lot of us and it is lovely to see the all the generations interacting and enjoying each others company. We had wonderful weather and my sister
