"A rollicking band of Pirates we..."

So we are very much into February, which is amazing really but it does mean the start of a rather busy time for Adelaide especially!

I have started the year off reasonably quietly which has been good as I was rather tired from the end of last year but it is good to be underway and learning things again. Soul Factor are back and rehearsing again and we are learning music for Easter. This Easter concert is another stand and sing full of beautiful music telling the story those last weeks, days, moments of Jesus' life and the joy of the resurrection. Our Easter concerts have sold out for the last few years so don't miss out on tickets. For more info head to the website here.

In February and March, Adelaide comes alive with the Fringe Festival, other festivals and Clipsal 500. It is a crazy time in the city but such a wonderful vibe and a great time for performing and watching others. This year I am in the fringe show "Pirates of Penzance on the Popeye" put on my Emma Knights Productions. This is funny adaptation of the Gilbert & Sullivan classic and is presented on the Popeye boats that go up and down the Torrens River. There is only a cast of eight so roles vary but we all are having a lot of fun with it. We had sold out our original 4 shows, so they added another and that sold and now there are still some tickets left for another new show added on Saturday 21st. So if this sounds like something you would be keen on, snatch up your tickets here. I can't of course promise there will be tickets left but......

So things are happening! I even worship lead at church on sunday, I haven't been able to for a while so its good to be back.

Well I hope you have a fabulous 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
