Following my path and it feels good.

Blog

All I’ve ever wanted since I got into singing at the age of 15 (once I knew it was what I really wanted to do a year later) is sing. I’ve never wanted anything else. When my dad told me to work in a bank, and he shouted me down saying I was not going […]

Back to it…for 2024.

It’s that time to get going again but I don’t know about you, it feels like a wrench. This time last week I was in Seville and in ‘switch off’ mode. It doesn’t happen very often, where I get to just switch off and not care for a bit. I could go out and sit […]

A new chapter…

Blog

I’m about to start my Christmas run. Once that begins on Thursday it’s head down until the 22nd. Go and sing and then come home to rest, then go and sing again and then rest. It doesn’t bother me as I’m not a ‘go out’ person anyway. Even if I could go on a night […]

What’s it all for?

Blog

I’m sat on my bed writing this. It’s a Thursday morning. I don’t have much to do today apart from taking my ladies choir in Holmfirth tonight. I woke up with the songs they are doing in my head, and drilling coming from next door. I’m catching up on emails and planning programmes for things. […]

I get knocked down but I get up again…


Blog

I am going to call this year ‘Knockville’ because there have been that many knocks I feel like a weighted ten pin bowl that just bounces back up when it’s been knocked down ready for the next round. I’ve never had a year of ups and downs with my singing like this one. The last […]

Happier days….


Blog

Hello everyone. The tide is turning. THE TIDE IS FLIPPING TURNING. I am soooooooo happy to say. The first half of this year was a lot of work to just get things going again. Starting point ’nothing in my diary’, so let’s book a load of venues and do everything myself to get people in. […]

Leaving on a jet plane…


Blog

I’m going on holiday for a week tomorrow. It’s the first time I’ve left the UK in 3 years. I used to travel all the time, so it will feel lovely to be away. What a year it has been so far. I can honestly say this has been the most challenging year with regards […]

How much am I worth?


Blog

I never really talk about money. I’m not a money person. Yes, I need it, just like everyone else, but I have spent the last few years trying to help people, as much as make money. I’m not a materialistic person. I don’t chase having ’things’. I live in a small one bedroomed apartment, drive […]

Fuck it…


Blog

Hi Everyone. I’m having a bit of an epiphany. In a really good way. I’ve been working to change some of my patterns recently. I put a shit load of pressure on myself with my singing, and have been doing for years. I mean FOR YEARS. Ever since I took my first singing lesson. Before […]

Everything’s gonna be alright……


Blog

When one of my friends was having a bit of a rough ride recently, she kept playing the song ‘Everything’s gonna be alright’ by Sweetbox. I listened to it myself quite a few times, and I love how they mix Bach with what they do. My point is that I do feel ‘everything’s gonna be […]

Ground Zero


Blog

I’m sat here stuck in fear. It’s been like that now for a few weeks. I spent New Year’s Eve on my friends sofa not feeling well and came home early and was in bed way before midnight, and then spent the next 3 days in bed with a cold and sore throat. I’m back […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…


Blog

HI Everyone. It’s a snowy Sunday and I’m sat in my apartment looking out of the windows at the snow coming down. Not often we can say that. It’s beginning to look at lot like Christmas already. I’m not a huge Christmas fan to be honest. I like the getting together with people, but I’m […]

Hi Everyone, How are you doooooinnn, wherever you are? I’m really good. I’m living alone again which feels amazing. I’m renting a one bedroomed apartment and it’s only the second time I have lived alone in my life. The other time was when I lived in Antwerp, for 4 years. I love it. I love […]
