August is Over!

Well I am just going to get this post in for August! This month has just flown, lots has been happening. How about you?

This week has brought on some fabulous weather and definitely the hope of Spring!!
So the month of August has been filled with all different things and as always I am grateful for the different opportunities I get to experience.
At the end of July, I finished that month with 2 fantastic concerts. Soul Factor's "Bless 'Em all - a Tribute to the Anzacs" Concert with the Australian Army Band Adelaide. What a fantastic afternoon that was, wonderful music and a full house, we all had a fabulous time. Was also lovely to sing with my Sisters! For a full photo album click here.  Then that same day I then went and sang at the Gov with the JD Lord Band, which was a great night of music of the 50s, 60s and 70s.




Then it was into August and I headed to Sydney for Mary Kay Seminar which was fantastic! Was great to get away for a couple of days and be surrounded with like minded Women who are excited and want more in life. I am so excited for what this year holds for my Mary Kay Business. It is such a wonderful company and there is so many exciting things coming. I am so thankful I have been a part of it for over 13 years. If you would like to connect with me or try some of the products head to my website www.marykay.com.au/rebeccaraymond  or my facebook page :)



Singing wise I have had a few different things happening, Peter Elvis Gig and performances of Pirates plus my students and Raymond Sisters gigs and that is what September looks like as well!

Pirates of Penzance is at the Port - the production that originated on the Popeye has now expanded elsewhere. On the weekend of 14th-16th of September we will be at the Pirate Festival at Port Adelaide, if you haven't caught this show that has sold out at the Fringe since 2014 then head to emmaknights.com to get your tickets!! Plus you will also find Oklahoma tickets there as well 😃 Yes we are back again in October.

The Raymond Sisters also have quite a few gigs coming up! On September 14th we will be heading back to school and performing at Cornerstone College's Cabaret. Then on the 22nd we are the special guests at the Mitcham City Brass Concert for a Cause. This concert is raising money for Kidney/Renal research and will feature a wide range of music. For Tickets click here

What else has been happening, family time, learning, rehearsals for Soul Factor's For Unto Y'all that is happening in the Fringe next year and alot of growing!! Plus i even sang on the radio in Tribute to Aretha Franklin. God continues to bless me with opportunities and even when I don't understand He comes up with something else, that amazes me.

Spring starts tomorrow! Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there for Sunday.

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!...
