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.

Blog

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.

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.

Blog

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 […]

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 […]

How ya doooooinnnnnn?


Blog

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 […]

Rise and Shine…..


Blog

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 […]

Not everyone will like what you do, but do it anyway.


Blog

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 […]

Carrying on and keeping singing……


Blog

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 […]

‘No plan Nick’ right now….


Blog

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 […]

Resting, resting, one, two three…..


Blog

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 […]

Some big fat ‘time out’.


Blog

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 […]

Jingle Bells, Rudolph smells…….


Blog

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 […]

Buy me a beer…..


Blog

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 […]
