"In a One Horse Open Sleigh....."

Ahh Christmas time, the time of fun, food, family, end of year parties and celebrations, presents, celebrating the greatest gift JESUS and singing LOTS of singing.

Now those of you who know me, know that I LOVE Christmas music. Which is probably a good thing as I am a singer and that means you start rehearsing Christmas music way back in September/October. This year in particular I am singing a lot of it, I am blessed to have quite a few Christmas gigs this year its just keeping on top of the music which can get stressful (oh along with other rehearsals and work etc still happening haha). To date I have ticked off three, still have 5 to go!

On Saturday night the 5th, Soul Factor Gospel Choir presented it's Christmas Concert "It's Almost Christmas". It was a fabulous night of music, fun and spreading the joy of Christmas. We sang & danced to a packed house and were very much  encouraged by the audience participation, clapping and laughter throughout the evening. Joining us on that night were "Four Tune Eight" the Gomez Children. These adorable, talented kids played and sang together to the delight of all there! Christmas concert like that are such a wonderful thing to perform, there were smiles all round. If you would like to check out the gallery of pics from the night click here

The Gomez Children were fabulous!








 
So far I have also sung with a group of ladies I put together who led the worship on Sunday morning and "The Raymond Sisters" sang last night at the Resthaven Bellevue Heights Carol service. To come is Hallett Cove Carols on Friday night and the Adelaide Carols by Candlelight on Sunday with Soul Factor, other carol services and Gawler Carols with The Raymond Sisters on Saturday 19th. So lots still to do but it is a blessing to sing all the beautiful songs and to share with others at this time.

In amongst all these Christmas gigs I have also been rehearsing for a January project "Oklahoma" the Musical set on a Horses Farm in the Adelaide Hills! Yes this wonderful classic will be staged under the trees on the Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton. With REAL horses, a real surrey, fabulous performers and a live band this production is sure to be something you will remember forever.
I am excited to be playing Laurey as its a role I have always loved and to perform it on an actual farm is amazing.
Along with the performance, there will be Country Baked goods to purchase, a petting zoo, pony rides and more so that you the audience can feel a part of this whole experience. Don't miss your chance to be a part of this experience. Tickets are available here and there are group discounts available. It is suitable for all ages!! What a great Christmas gift or Holiday idea for the kids.

I would love to see you there!!
Have a great week. Bec x

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 ...
