Its beginning to look alot like Christmas!!


I know we try to deny it but Christmas is only 3 months away!! Isn't that crazy?
It's always funny to start learning Christmas music in September but as a singer you have to start early :) which to me is fabulous because I love singing Christmas music, listening to Christmas music and shopping to Christmas music.  I know I might be a little Christmas crazy but apart from the amazing story of Christ's birth there is also the magic of that time of year.

So some of my favourite Christmas carols/songs are:

  • O Holy Night
  • Angels we Have Heard on High
  • Silent Night
  • Gloria in Excelsius Deo
  • White Christmas
  • Ill be home for Christmas
  • Chestnuts roasting
What are yours??

I tend to like the songs that are about white christmas's which I have never experineced but am sure I will some day. Although there is something special about an aussie Christmas, hot weather, carols by candlelight, seafood, cricket.....

Well this post is not meant to freak you out if you havent started your shopping yet (dont worry, I haven't!!) but I hope that as this special time of year draws closer you will remember the important parts about it like the reason for the season and the time to share with family and friends.

    I agree Bec, it is a great time of year. My favourites are Hark the Herald (for its brilliant theology - our God contracted to a span, incomprehensibly made man)and O come O come Imannuel - anything in a minor key!!

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...

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 ...
