Wow so much has happened since my last post!! This time of year is always crazy but I feel like I haven't had a chance to sit down and write this until now!
So since February, Adelaide (the beautiful city I live in) has been alive with festivals of many kinds. Hundreds of shows, thousands of tickets sold and many, many fun times. I myself was in 3 shows and add to that, work, students, and rehearsals for another musical it has been crazy but Fringe ended last night and so I have come out the other end alive 😅
On February 24th, Soul Factor performed their Fringe Show "A Gospel Shot". 2 performances, almost sold out crowds and many songs but wonderful shows with a fabulous bunch of people. The feedback was amazing and so many of our audience members wanted to chat and tell us the songs they enjoyed most. Also there were many who came that just saw it in the Fringe brochure and bought tickets, having not heard us before so it was lovely to see that they loved it. This week Soul Factor has their Easter Concert "Draw Me Nearer" on Sunday 25th March, 3pm. It will be a wonderful afternoon of music, preparing you for Easter. Get your tickets here
My next show was "More Than a Woman" a Bee Gees Tribute with my sisters, The Raymond Sisters on March 7th. It was so awesome to be singing again with my sisters and to be doing this amazing music. The show itself was put together by Emma Knights at Emma Knight Productions and tells stories from the Sister, Leslie Gibb. We were excited to have Sold Out a week before and so we knew that the crowd was going to be great but we weren't expecting such an amazing night. Cheers, Sighs, applause and dancing from everyone. By the end of the night the whole room was up dancing (including the bar staff) and they wanted more which was so great. I was so proud of my sisters and all the work they did. They looked and sounded amazing and we had a ball. Thankyou to Gus Smith for being the radio announcer and telling the stories, the the awesome band Tim, Adam, Reid, Daniel and of course Emma Knights for having us along. And a massive thankyou to all who came along, it was a fantastic night! We will be popping up some videos and recordings of the night so make sure to check out our Facebook Page.
In amongst the Fringe shows I also sang at a Convention Dinner at the Adelaide Oval with Ice Queens ladies, Rosie and Carolyn from Ding Productions. This night we were actually red hot though and it was a fun relaxed night with lovely people. Always fun to throw a bit of classical singing in there haha!
And finally, Pirates of Penzance on the Popeye to end my Fringe season. We had performed a few shows back in February at the start of Fringe but to end it had 8 performances over 6 days. This was the fifth year this show has been performed and sold out and again it was a bunch of fun. Audiences were amazing, the cast and crew so fun to work with and some fun memories were made. Thanks to Emma Knights for having me along again and to all those who continue to support it.
So I feel very blessed to have been a part of so many fantastic shows and opportunities, to be able to do what I love and share with so many different people. As I was so busy I didn't get a chance to actually see many shows but did get to Choir Of Man who were fantastic!
Such a great time and now to look to the next opportunity! If you came along to any of these shows or actually to any of the Fringe shows, as a performer I thank you. Without an audience we wouldn't have shows so thankyou!
