At the End of August

Can you believe that it is the end of another month??

I feel like sometimes I fall asleep and wake up a week later missing days in between 😂
What about you? But I admit I have been doing lots of interesting things and really enjoying myself which is important and it will soon be SPRING!!

So August for me started in Melbourne looking after my Niece and Nephew for a few days. It was a really lovely time with them, we learnt lots about each other and had lots of fun, at the end as I was not used to living with a 1 and 4 year old I was exhausted but so happy I was able to do it. There is a lot to be said for having your own business! On the final Saturday in Melbourne, my sister Lauren and I were able to have lunch and go see Aladdin. What a glittering spectacle that was and such a pleasure to see such a favourite film of mine come to life on stage.

After that week the dreaded lurgy that everyone seems to have caught this winter got me. And really it has taken the rest of the month to get better but other than a couple of days it has not really stopped me 😊 Lots of Mary Kay Classes, Theatre Makeup Classes, new singing students, a day on a film, rehearsals and auditions have kept me busy.

I am excited to have been offered the role of Princess Fiona in Shrek the Musical which is coming in January next year. This should be a great fun role and a chance to do a more comedic role which I have wanted to do for a while. So keep your eyes open for that!

Last week Olivia and I were the backing vocals for Jack Gatto and his Elvis show. It was such a great night of music and a lot of fun. So many songs but we are enjoying really extending our repertoire and even just going with some songs we didn't know 😅 Jack has a fantastic voice and is a great performer and the band (whom we know) they are fabulous. Add to that excited fans and you have a great night.



I really feel that so much is happening at the moment and I am so grateful to God for his provision and for the opportunities he is bringing to me. I am excited for what could be and look forward everyday to Him using me in a different way.

In September, I go into Qualification for Directorship with Mary Kay and am so looking forward to completing that and stepping up in the company. It has blessed me so much and so many other women. I want to help women be the best they can be and this is a beautiful way to do it!

At the end of September, Soul Factor is back with a Broadway Show!!! Its been a couple of years since we have done that and of course almost a year since we performed since we had a break. So get your tickets!! It is going to a fabulous night with a focus on songs by Cole Porter. So grab your friends, family, kids and come along. There are two shows on Saturday 30 September and October 1st. Click here for more info.


So have an amazing week and see you in September.

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
