WOW! Been & Gone.....

I honestly can not believe how fast this year is going! It is almost the end of October, that means this Saturday is my birthday, Christmas is coming and I am already being booked for things next year!!

But lets not go crazy, one day at a time right??

So October has been a busy month for so many reasons. To start it was the opening and performances for the Musical "Two from Galilee". This was a fabulous show and went so well. After only two months of rehearsals we opened to a great crowd and were so glad that audiences loved it as much as we did. With fantastic leads and an chorus made up of mainly Soul Factor Gospel Choir, it really was a feast for the ears and a lovely story to boot.

It was a real pleasure to be able to sing and perform with my parents as leads. Mum and Dad actually played my parents in the musical and I was so proud to see them up there next to me. As well as playing leads Mum was the Director/Musical Director and Dad created and built all the sets. So they are pretty amazing ;)
I often forget that to be a part of my family where we are all singers and performers is rather rare and to then see special projects come to life that you have all worked on its special.  I was very blessed to play Mary and to share some of her story, her thoughts and fears but also to show her joy. Plus it was fun to be pregnant and to have a baby albeit not real as both my sisters have had real children this year haha!!

I love working with my Soul Factor Family because that is what they are Family. They are all open to our ideas and crazy rehearsal time and we are one in wanting to share wonderful music. Below are some pics from the show. Thankyou to Nicky Collison Photography for taking some amazing photos









Also this month I was in a commercial for Rivergum Homes. It was a fun time of filming and is already on television. Check it out, all a bit of fun ;)

I am also in rehearsals for a gig with the JD Lord band on November 13 at Norwood Live. If you love Elvis, Tom Jones, Joe Cocker this is a gig for you. Great music and a fabulous band. Check out the details below, we'd love to see you there!


Well I think that's all for just now, there is a lot happening but and Christmas gigs start soon which is fabulous because I LOVE Christmas music but hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.

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 cafĂ© 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 ...
