WOW! Been & Gone.....

I honestly can not believe how fast this year is going! It is almost the end of October, that means this Saturday is my birthday, Christmas is coming and I am already being booked for things next year!!

But lets not go crazy, one day at a time right??

So October has been a busy month for so many reasons. To start it was the opening and performances for the Musical "Two from Galilee". This was a fabulous show and went so well. After only two months of rehearsals we opened to a great crowd and were so glad that audiences loved it as much as we did. With fantastic leads and an chorus made up of mainly Soul Factor Gospel Choir, it really was a feast for the ears and a lovely story to boot.

It was a real pleasure to be able to sing and perform with my parents as leads. Mum and Dad actually played my parents in the musical and I was so proud to see them up there next to me. As well as playing leads Mum was the Director/Musical Director and Dad created and built all the sets. So they are pretty amazing ;)
I often forget that to be a part of my family where we are all singers and performers is rather rare and to then see special projects come to life that you have all worked on its special.  I was very blessed to play Mary and to share some of her story, her thoughts and fears but also to show her joy. Plus it was fun to be pregnant and to have a baby albeit not real as both my sisters have had real children this year haha!!

I love working with my Soul Factor Family because that is what they are Family. They are all open to our ideas and crazy rehearsal time and we are one in wanting to share wonderful music. Below are some pics from the show. Thankyou to Nicky Collison Photography for taking some amazing photos









Also this month I was in a commercial for Rivergum Homes. It was a fun time of filming and is already on television. Check it out, all a bit of fun ;)

I am also in rehearsals for a gig with the JD Lord band on November 13 at Norwood Live. If you love Elvis, Tom Jones, Joe Cocker this is a gig for you. Great music and a fabulous band. Check out the details below, we'd love to see you there!


Well I think that's all for just now, there is a lot happening but and Christmas gigs start soon which is fabulous because I LOVE Christmas music but hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.

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 cafĂ© 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!...
