"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!

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 ...

Music for Mums!

Well I haven't written for a while, sorry about that! I have been so busy with trying to do assignments, work, rehearse, sing, teach its been crazy!!! anyway so Mother's Day is this weekend. The day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who do so much for us and loves us tremendously. So what are you doing for your Mum this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Promises you don't intend to keep? (line from Beauty & the Beast hehe!!) Spa Treatment? Lunch cooked by you? Movies? I'd love to hear some of your ideas. This year, as it will be a tough one, the first without Alex, we are all flying to Tassie to be with my sister and her husband away from home. It should be a lovely time and the first time Mum & Dad have seen my sisters house. (For Liv and I, its the 3rd time there in less than 6 months!) Of course, as we are there we, The Raymond Sisters, have been booked to sing at the Red Shield Festival Saturday at the Bellerive Boardwalk. We are doing a 30m...

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...
