"A rollicking band of Pirates we..."

So we are very much into February, which is amazing really but it does mean the start of a rather busy time for Adelaide especially!

I have started the year off reasonably quietly which has been good as I was rather tired from the end of last year but it is good to be underway and learning things again. Soul Factor are back and rehearsing again and we are learning music for Easter. This Easter concert is another stand and sing full of beautiful music telling the story those last weeks, days, moments of Jesus' life and the joy of the resurrection. Our Easter concerts have sold out for the last few years so don't miss out on tickets. For more info head to the website here.

In February and March, Adelaide comes alive with the Fringe Festival, other festivals and Clipsal 500. It is a crazy time in the city but such a wonderful vibe and a great time for performing and watching others. This year I am in the fringe show "Pirates of Penzance on the Popeye" put on my Emma Knights Productions. This is funny adaptation of the Gilbert & Sullivan classic and is presented on the Popeye boats that go up and down the Torrens River. There is only a cast of eight so roles vary but we all are having a lot of fun with it. We had sold out our original 4 shows, so they added another and that sold and now there are still some tickets left for another new show added on Saturday 21st. So if this sounds like something you would be keen on, snatch up your tickets here. I can't of course promise there will be tickets left but......

So things are happening! I even worship lead at church on sunday, I haven't been able to for a while so its good to be back.

Well I hope you have a fabulous week!

A Dream is a wish your heart makes....

A dream is a wish you heart makes... Do you have a dream? something that you want your life to be? or somewhere you want to go? Are you reaching for it? I have had a dream to be a Mary Kay Director since I joined the company 10 years ago and this month I took a huge step to achieving this. On October 1st I entered into DIQ or Director in Qualification, I now have 4 months to become a Director. I am very excited about this, the timing seemed right and when I do it I will be able to do just Mary Kay and Singing which will be perfect! It is rather scary though because there is a lot of work to be done in those four months, I have to build my team and reach certain production goals and sometimes it seems crazy, but that's the idea of moving up isn't it? taking a leap of faith? So why Directorship you ask? I understand leadership is not for everyone but I have always been drawn to it. I do have a passion for helping women feel good about themselves and I believe that we are...

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 m...

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day...."

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day......" Well actually its been a beautiful week! I did have the absolute privilege to play Laurey in Oklahoma! presented live on Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton SA. It was such a beautiful setting to be in everyday, trees, fresh air, animals in the paddocks around and one rather show stealing peacock!! The cast was fabulous, the orchestra amazing and the sound superb (Tim Freedman, Allpro Audio  love your work!!). At the risk of sounding cheesy it was a magical experience. From the moment that Curly rides along the ridge on his horse (an actual horse!) singing "Oh what a Beautiful Morning" people were captivated. It was such a labour of love for all of us, and to see the joy in people's faces was so wonderful. This production was the idea of Emma Knights from Emma Knights Productions and along with some other wonderful people who captured the vision of it all as well, it actua...
