Mission being accomplished…

Blog

Hello Everyone. I know it’s been a while. The last time I tried a vlog instead of a blog. I’m not sure if I will carry on doing these as it costs me around £150 a year to pay for this site and I’m not using it very much, but at the same time I […]

It’s been like being dragged through a hedge backwards.

Hello. It’s been ages since I’ve written a blog post and I’ve decided I’m going to do one a month from now on. The last one was just after the Women’s Institute convention in April, and since then a LOT has happened in my life. It’s been really quite stressful and I’m only just coming […]

Following my path and it feels good.

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 […]

Giving it my all…

Hello. I’m sat in bed with my dog lying with me. I’m in my flat in Halifax but I know the dog can’t stay here with me again. He finds the noises of the cars outside too much for him. He is super noise sensitive as a border collie and every loud exhaust scares him, […]

So long, farewell 2022


Blog

My God, what a year it’s been. It’s been like being put in the washing machine, washed rinsed and spun over and over again. I think this for me as a singer has felt like the hardest year to go through. It’s been like an obstacle course, and I’ve fallen off and had to get […]

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 […]

Things have definitely taken a step forward since my last post. I felt at ground zero, starting again. Really not […]

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 […]
