3 + 3

3 seems to be the number at the moment!

I turned 33 the other week, last weekend I had 3 rehearsals for 3 separate 3 girl harmony groups.

Well they do say things come in three's haha!!

So my birthday.....another year gone and gone quickly I might add but I have to say a great year!
This year my birthday fell on a Saturday which was handy and meant that of course I had to do something :)

Brunch dates! Thanks Val for the photo
So first of all it was a beautiful day, 30 degrees warm and sunny. I began the day with brunch with some of my beautiful friends from Soul Factor. Then I had a gelati date with my niece and nephew (my sis Lauren & Mum and Dad too) and to end the day my friends and I headed out for a "Burgers & Ballgowns" night!! Twas a fabulous night and it was great just to do something for my birthday.

Gelati dates with these cuties

Burgers & Ballgowns
That weekend was quite a big family one as my beautiful niece Eva was dedicated the next day. Just a small group of family and close friends of Liv & Jake got together to dedicate Eva and her life to God and to thank him for this precious gift that she is. Lauren did the ceremony and I sang, it was a beautiful afternoon.



I have had rehearsals coming out of my ears, for gigs all leaning towards 3 part female harmony groups funnily enough. I am starting to get sore knees which I like to call pop/bop knee. As I am doing so much bopping through songs haha!

The weekend just gone was another J.D Lord band gig at Norwood Live. Liv, Sophie and myself pop bopped our way through over 20 songs, including a little Sweet Inspiration by ourselves. It was a great night and we had some lovely new costumes designed by Juliette. 

I have an Andrews Sisters gig coming up this Friday with Ding Productions which has been a good challenge to learn and also in the next couple of weeks a couple of Carols by Candlelight to sing at and of course Soul Factor's Christmas Concert. Which is selling fast and will be a wonderful afternoon of music! Don't miss it!




As well, Oklahoma rehearsals start!! Yes if you missed this years wonderful "Oklahoma on a Farm" experience we are back in January 2017. For a look at this year check out my blogpost from January. Book your tickets as it truly is a wonderful experience!

Well that's a wrap! Lot''s going on and I feel very blessed!

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...

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...
