3 + 3

3 seems to be the number at the moment!

I turned 33 the other week, last weekend I had 3 rehearsals for 3 separate 3 girl harmony groups.

Well they do say things come in three's haha!!

So my birthday.....another year gone and gone quickly I might add but I have to say a great year!
This year my birthday fell on a Saturday which was handy and meant that of course I had to do something :)

Brunch dates! Thanks Val for the photo
So first of all it was a beautiful day, 30 degrees warm and sunny. I began the day with brunch with some of my beautiful friends from Soul Factor. Then I had a gelati date with my niece and nephew (my sis Lauren & Mum and Dad too) and to end the day my friends and I headed out for a "Burgers & Ballgowns" night!! Twas a fabulous night and it was great just to do something for my birthday.

Burgers & Ballgowns
That weekend was quite a big family one as my beautiful niece Eva was dedicated the next day. Just a small group of family and close friends of Liv & Jake got together to dedicate Eva and her life to God and to thank him for this precious gift that she is. Lauren did the ceremony and I sang, it was a beautiful afternoon.



I have had rehearsals coming out of my ears, for gigs all leaning towards 3 part female harmony groups funnily enough. I am starting to get sore knees which I like to call pop/bop knee. As I am doing so much bopping through songs haha!

The weekend just gone was another J.D Lord band gig at Norwood Live. Liv, Sophie and myself pop bopped our way through over 20 songs, including a little Sweet Inspiration by ourselves. It was a great night and we had some lovely new costumes designed by Juliette. 

I have an Andrews Sisters gig coming up this Friday with Ding Productions which has been a good challenge to learn and also in the next couple of weeks a couple of Carols by Candlelight to sing at and of course Soul Factor's Christmas Concert. Which is selling fast and will be a wonderful afternoon of music! Don't miss it!




As well, Oklahoma rehearsals start!! Yes if you missed this years wonderful "Oklahoma on a Farm" experience we are back in January 2017. For a look at this year check out my blogpost from January. Book your tickets as it truly is a wonderful experience!

Well that's a wrap! Lot''s going on and I feel very blessed!

Have a fabulous week.

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
