A Little Bit of This & a Little Bit of That!

It's already the middle of July, can you believe it? And how cold has it been? My goodness, I thought that when I moved down from the hills I would be warmer .....not true. I hope you've been able to keep warm though, I am sure the weather will change soon (fingers crossed!).

So we are into the second half of the year and I am in the process of locking things in and of course learning more music! A few things have happened over the last couple of weeks, including me taking on some singing students. I have been thinking about this for a while and decided that now was the time to get back to sharing knowledge and to work with people who want to better their vocal abilities. I am actually kind of excited to be getting back to it and hope that it is something that works. Singing is my passion and I love to share it with others, teaching it is just another way.

Soul Factor's mid year concert is coming up on July 31st and this year it is a rather fabulous mix of music! What else could warm you up better than an afternoon of Broadway and Gospel music performed for you??
So you don't want to miss "A Little Bit of This & A Little Bit of That"
It will be a fabulous afternoon and Soul Factor always put on a wonderful show so get your tickets today here!
 
 
Soul Factor are actually very busy at the moment because as soon as the above concert is over we go into rehearsals for our October Musical "Two from Gallilee". This is a beautiful musical about the love story between Mary & Joseph. The music is just gorgeous and anyone will enjoy it. I am playing the role of Mary and can wait to get stuck into it. Look out for more info soon!
I have also become an Auntie again in the last month to Hudson Jude MacDonald Stobie. He is absolutely gorgeous and its been so lovely to have my sister Lauren over with her two children for a couple of weeks. My niece Bella had a sleepover at my place the other weekend and we had a great time, playing, dressing up as Disney Princesses, fake snowball fighting and eating! I was exhausted haha!!  My other sister Olivia is also due for her baby so we are all waiting for that to happen as well!!

Well that's about it for today, there are a few other exciting things in the pipeline which I am very much praying come to pass! This year has been one of doings things I didn't expect to do and I am more great things!
Have a great 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...

2018 Celebration!!

2018 has really been an amazing year.  When I look back on what I've actually done this year it is actually quite crazy but I've enjoyed every minute of it.  There have been times of difficulty and real stress when things didn't go to plan but God has blessed me so abundantly and really allowed me to use my gifts to share with people and to create a life that is really full of joy. So at the beginning of this year, I actually said I was gonna have a quieter year and that turned out to not be true in the slightest. But it has been amazing!  So this year, I have done Oklahoma on a Farm twice, played Princess Fiona in an SA Premiere of Shrek (plus learned to tap dance), done a Bee Gee's Tribute with my sisters, climbed aboard a Pirate Ship many times, been a Siamese Twin in SideShow the Musical, been an Ice & Fire Queen, learnt and performed many Elvis songs, sang on a Cruise Ship,  sang on the radio 4 times, perfomed in concerts, gigs, dinne...
