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!

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
