Christmas is the Best time of the Year!!

December 1st already!!! can you believe it??

Granted, I have done a lot of things this year but it does seem to have raced past!

So Christmas is fast approaching and for me that means numerous gigs usually entailing lots of carol singing and joy bells ringing 😂

I truly LOVE Christmas and think that it IS the best time of the year. I love the amazing reason for Christmas after all Christmas is Jesus!, I love the songs and music, the atmosphere, the decorations, the films, the times of family get togethers and people sharing with others plus it does end our year and so to focus on this at the end of a busy year makes me happy.

So what does your Christmas season look like? what are your favourite traditions?
It wouldn't be Christmas for me without singing and this often takes many forms. This Sunday I am making a steller effort of three singing things in one day haha!!

Sunday 4th December - so Oklahoma rehearsals begin. Do you remember that at the start of the year I did Oklahoma on a Farm? and it was one of the best expereinces Ive had?? well I get to do it again and if you missed it last time DON'T, I said DON'T miss it this time! It runs Jan 6-8 and tickets are available here!!

Anyway, so Oklahoma rehearsals and then at 3pm on Sunday Soul Factor Gospel Choir has their Christmas Concert "Christmas is the Best Time of Year". Well what can I say about this but this will be a fabulous afternoon. Soul Factor are truly an amazing group and yes I know my mum runs in (she's pretty amazing too) and I've been in it since the beginning but it is quality. I love all the pieces of music we are singing, you will be very much in the Christmas Spirit at the end and have a smile on your face. Tickets are selling fast so grab yours online


THEN in the evening of the 4th I am a special guest at Hazelwood Park Carols. Starting at 7pm but food and other community things available prior this is a lovely place to sing some carols and enjoy Australia's Christmas. If you come along let me know. I am singing a few songs along with the Tanunda Band. Should be a good night.

Well that's all for now! Have a great weekend!

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 ...
