Hold on, I'm coming....

So a bit of time has passed since my last post, actually I feel like this year is running past! Can you relate??

Well lots has been happening since my last post and I'd love to get you up to speed. At the moment my life is made up of rehearsals, work and baby showers it seems haha!

Big Fish the Musical opens in about 4 weeks and I am loving every minute of that rehearsal process. I am so grateful for the experiences and opportunities I have had this year and this musical is another of those moments. I love the character I am playing (Sandra), the songs I get to sing and all the people I am working with. On April 24th, Andrew Crispe and Myself sang one of our duets from the show at Broadway Sessions. This is a night that happens once a month, kind of like an open mic night, gives performers of all ages and experience the opportunity to sing something out of a the musical theatre genre. It is always a great night and is rather popular so it was great to get the chance to share music from Big Fish and from all accounts it went over very well :)
If you have a chance don't miss seeing this show, you will leave uplifted and with a smile on your face.Season runs from 9th - 18th June. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday 17th May so head to http://therry.org.au/ for more info.

Next week I actually have two other gigs with different groups. The new one that I will be doing is working with the J. D Lord Band. This has been interesting to see become what it is and we are looking forward to singing/playing some great music on Sunday 22nd at Norwood Live. The music is a mix of Tom Jones and Elvis, soulful 70s so I am sure there would be songs you recognise and can sing along to. I am singing backing vocals with my sister Liv and our friend Sophie and we are enjoying stepping back in time a bit. So if you are free, why not come down and hear us! We'd love to have a good showing and share it with you. Details are on the poster below and for more info head to the band facebook page.

 


So above I also mentioned Baby Showers. Well I have had 3 in the past 3 weekends and all for my sisters. So both my sisters Lauren and Liv are pregnant, due within a month of one another and so it was the time for Baby Showers. Liv had two as it is her first child and she has lots of people to invite and some of Lauren's friends in Melbourne put one on for her. It has been lovely to share with them, bake cakes for them and to see their new babies showered with lovely presents. I am looking forward to being an Auntie again!!


Well that just about covers it to here I think.
Hope you have a fabulous month of May, hopefully I'll see you at something I am singing at soon.

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!...
