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.

Be the Hero of your story....

Well after around 4 months of rehearsal the time has come for us to open "Big Fish" the Musical. Tonight is the Preview before tomorrow Opening Night and I am so excited to share it with audiences and bring the SA Premiere to Adelaide! You may have gathered from other posts that I LOVE this musical and the role that I am playing. Of all the lead roles I have played, this one, Sandra Bloom, is a special one. But I think that has a lot to do with the cast, production team and all those involved with putting this show on. It has been such a wonderful rehearsal period creating something beautiful and for that I feel very blessed. I get to sing some beautiful songs, be a mother and grandmother and have red hair! Plus you don't want to miss my blue Sparkly dress!! If you are trying to decide whether to come to it as you don't know the story or music I encourage you to take a leap and come along. This music had me from the first listen and the story is so full of heart ...

Music for Mums!

Well I haven't written for a while, sorry about that! I have been so busy with trying to do assignments, work, rehearse, sing, teach its been crazy!!! anyway so Mother's Day is this weekend. The day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who do so much for us and loves us tremendously. So what are you doing for your Mum this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Promises you don't intend to keep? (line from Beauty & the Beast hehe!!) Spa Treatment? Lunch cooked by you? Movies? I'd love to hear some of your ideas. This year, as it will be a tough one, the first without Alex, we are all flying to Tassie to be with my sister and her husband away from home. It should be a lovely time and the first time Mum & Dad have seen my sisters house. (For Liv and I, its the 3rd time there in less than 6 months!) Of course, as we are there we, The Raymond Sisters, have been booked to sing at the Red Shield Festival Saturday at the Bellerive Boardwalk. We are doing a 30m...

2018 Celebration!!

2018 has really been an amazing year.  When I look back on what I've actually done this year it is actually quite crazy but I've enjoyed every minute of it.  There have been times of difficulty and real stress when things didn't go to plan but God has blessed me so abundantly and really allowed me to use my gifts to share with people and to create a life that is really full of joy. So at the beginning of this year, I actually said I was gonna have a quieter year and that turned out to not be true in the slightest. But it has been amazing!  So this year, I have done Oklahoma on a Farm twice, played Princess Fiona in an SA Premiere of Shrek (plus learned to tap dance), done a Bee Gee's Tribute with my sisters, climbed aboard a Pirate Ship many times, been a Siamese Twin in SideShow the Musical, been an Ice & Fire Queen, learnt and performed many Elvis songs, sang on a Cruise Ship,  sang on the radio 4 times, perfomed in concerts, gigs, dinne...
