New Year! What's coming.....

Happy New Year!! Wow can you believe that we are in 2016!
Last year really flew by and December was a crazy month. How are you feeling after the end of the year? are you ready to start a new one?

December was a great month, I was flat out with gigs, rehearsals, work and Mary Kay plus of course Christmas events with friends and family but it was a great month. I do love singing and performing and it is such a pleasure to share Christmas songs with people, to have then join in and leave with such joy. Soul Factor's concert was fabulous! So much fun to perform and a full house to share it with.
Our next gig was at the Hallett Cove Carols, which was freezing! And then the Adelaide Carols by Candlelight where some of us where backing Samantha Jade again and the whole choir was in the onstage choir. This turned into an exciting event, because although Samantha Jade got through her first number she actually had tonsillitis and got sicker after so about 20 mins before she was to go back on, I was called off stage and told they wanted me to sing Oh Holy Night in her place. So they found me a dress, pinned me in, gave me a mic and pushed me out there! I was sort of in that daze where you wonder whether this is actually happening haha!! But it all seemed to go well and I got a great cheer (mostly by my Soul Factor peeps on stage I reckon ;) ) anyway I felt blessed to be able to do it. I then also had to sing the Hallelujah Chorus out the front at the end. So it was a good night :)



How was your Christmas? I had a lovely day and enjoyed some family time as well a little break before heading back into rehearsals for Oklahoma. This musical that we are doing on a farm starts this Thursday and I am really looking forward to it!! It such a great concept and its exciting to be doing something that has not been done before. If you love live theatre, horses, farms, baked goods and the country then this is for you! Such an amazing cast and orchestra and unique setting is not to be missed. There are only four shows so grab your tix! https://www.dramatix.com.au/events/1522
 
 

So what do you want to accomplish this year? Have you set goals? or are you more of a go with the flow person?

I am excited for the thing that are happening so far this year. Singing gigs, weddings, makeup and of course I finish up DIQ with Mary Kay this month and.........BOTH my sisters are having babies so I will be an auntie again. So there is so much to look forward to and to praise God for everyday. I usually start each year with a bible verse that the sticks with me through out the year. Interestingly this year its the same verse as last year. It is a promise that I am reminded of everyday and I thank God that it is true.



And I also felt this verse was for this year



I hope that these say something to you as well! Have a wonderful 2016 and I look forward to sharing with you all through it!

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...

"Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain"

I can't believe I am sitting here already a week after the opening of Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm and we have finished another fabulous season and I've already jumped into rehearsals for the next couple of things. But I wanted to take a moment to again talk about this show and to say how grateful I am to be able to perform like this. This season of Oklahoma was HOT!! in many ways but also "literally" haha!! The temperatures of the weekend were in the high 30's and Saturday was so humid, but the amazing cast, crew and orchestra pushed through it and the performances was fabulous. And thats not just me saying that but the audiences who came were again raving at how good it was and what I find wonderful is they all sat through it, in the heat themselves but did not complain. There is something about being on the farm, if you have never been to Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton I encourage you to (even better if it's for a show I'm doing...

Turkish and Other Delights! Part Two...

And so the story of the trip continues here Part One can be found here ! So we arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday 21st April 2015 and as I said in the previous post we were struck by how many people there were and how crazy the driving was but luckily we were picked up by our tour company, Travelshop Turkey. We did make it to our hotel, The Green Park Hotel, safely and this hotel seemed quite nice. We did find it weird we didnt know anything about our start time in the morning or anything else from our tour but the guy at the desk did say that they were rather unorganised and not to worry, he'd let us know. Dancers on the boat Our first experience began that night began with a Bosphorus River and Dinner Cruise (to be honest we didn't quite know what to expect), people had said that it was great to cruise on the Bosphorus and see Istanbul from the water. Well we got picked up along with some others we didn't know and headed to our boat. Well this night was an experience!...
