I woke up yesterday and just had the words ‘rise and shine’ in my head. I’ve heard those words so many times but never really thought about what they actually mean. Why would we say that in the morning as we wake up, but when I thought about it it just makes perfect sense. Rise […]

Hi Everyone. I hope you are all doing ok in this craziness. People ask if things are getting back to normal for me. No. That life has gone for me. When they announced the lockdown last March the life that I had lived until that point was gone. Never to return. It’s over. For me […]

It’s a while since I wrote my last blog post, and then I just spent the last few hours writing one and it deleted it. The whole thing. OMG!!!!!! Had to start again…….aaargh!!!! Now I feel like saying ‘I’ve sang for lots of people. Lucky me. Love my job. The end. Have a lovely day […]

Someone asked me today if I had any plans? ‘No, not really’. I did take some time off and it was sooooooo lovely. I love singing for people and I’ll go down doing it really. It’s my total passion, but having time off was such bliss. Waking up and not having any plans for the […]

I spoke in my last post about taking some time out and I haven’t really. I spent January getting ready for my online gig last Sunday, and was out singing for people. Working on some new songs for it. Takes time and work every day to get my technique around it and it into my […]

I’m not sure where to start today. It’s been about 5 weeks since I wrote a blog post and I need to start writing them more frequently again. Before all this happened nearly a year ago, I was writing it every two weeks. I’ve been taking time out. For me. To look after my own […]

Hi. I waited to do my blog because I knew I was going to be in The Big Issue magazine today and wanted to feature it here. I was interviewed a few weeks back over a glass of wine and I spent an hour and a half telling my story, warts and all. It shocked […]

I woke up with the song ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’ in my head. Over and over again. It will probably be in my head all day now. I’m learning all my Christmas music now because all that begins in a few weeks. More concerts for people all throughout December. I’ll be […]

Hi Everyone. I’m writing to you from Cornwall. I spent the last two days driving down here with a few little pitstops to sing (in Rugby and Frome), and to see my good mate Claire in Kintbury. We worked together nearly three years ago in Monaco, but we know each other from years back when […]

I’m a bit grumpy today and trying to work out what I am actually feeling and what’s annoying me. I’m just making some apple and pear chutney with the apples and pears I got in my veggie box. I don’t like anything going to waste. I was meant to be singing somewhere this afternoon but […]
