Where has all the time gone to?

Oh my goodness, it is March and this is the first blog post I am writing this YEAR!! I am sorry for the lack of blog posts. This year has started off with a bang and kept going and now is flying past!

So let's catch up. 2019 began actually slowly for me, for the past few years I have had Oklahoma in the first week of January but this year we didn't have it so it was nice to have some holidays as last year was crazy! But the new year started with an Elvis Gig on the 6th, great to catch up and sing with the band again and then I headed off to Kuala Lumpur for Mary Kay Leadership Conference. 

I had a ball there, meeting and learning from other Directors in Malaysia, Phillipines and Singapore but also getting to know the Aussie and NZ Directors better. Plus I had to sing in the Talent Night with the rest of the Directors from Aus/NZ Dancing behind and WE WON!! Hilarious but a fab time. 

So then it was back and straight into rehearsals for Soul Factor's Fringe show "For Unto Y'all - A Cowboy Christmas". If you have been following along with me for a while, you may remember this show which we did twice years ago but we thought it suited the Fringe and would be fun to do. Also this time I was playing Mary, as my sis Olivia who played her last time is pregnant again and so couldn't. We performed this from Feb 28th -March 3rd and it was great fun. We had decent crowds, got good reviews and just thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was great to see so many new Soul Factorians enjoying the performing and it was wonderful to share the amazing story to new audiences. Check out some pics below (thanks Nicky Collinson Photography) but for a full album of this fantastic show click here







Aside from that I have had gigs with the JD Lord Band, singing teaching and alot of Mary Kay. This year I am focussing on building my Mary Kay business and so doing mainly gigs not shows which is also exciting because I have quite a few coming. 

The Raymond Sisters (and myself as a soloist) are singing at Unley Concert Band's "Last Night of the Proms" Concerts on March 30 & 31st.

Soul Factor Gospel Choir has their Easter Concert in April and The Raymond Sister's are singing at an ANZAC Tribute Concert. Then in May, I am in Melbourne for the Staff Alumni Band Concert, and other corporate things as well!! 

So I am very grateful for diversity and opportunities. I want to grow an amazing Mary Kay business here in SA and the beauty of it is it allows me to sing as well. 

So I will endeavour to get my blog posts back on track but I hope to see you around at these events or at new opportunities that I am sure will come. 

Have a great 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
