I write this blog every two weeks and my last blog I had just got laryngitis a few days before. I was meant to sing at my friends party in Belgium so that didn’t go ahead, and over the last two weeks I had to pull out of a concert for people in Blackburn, and […]
It has not been an easy few weeks. OMG, it’s been like being dragged through a hedge backwards and I’m just coming out of it the other end, realising that it was me all along. Meeeeeeee. The stress in my head. The anxiety has been building up and building up. Fear. I honestly thought I […]
I’m on the sofa recuperating from a busy week. I’m shattered. Feel like I’ve been whacked round the head with a hammer. I’ve been pretty stressed these last few weeks. The stress of getting people in and worrying about all the places I’ve booked, and not knowing if I can afford it all. I also […]
Hi Everyone, It’s Saturday night and I’m in front of the tv learning words at the same time. I sing for the boss of Disney in London at the end of the month at his retirement party. Peter, the boss, heard me sing outside Hammersmith station when I was still living in London and asked […]
I’m just on the train down to London and then on the Eurostar later over to Belgium. I’m singing at a dinner tomorrow and then will stay a few days and see friends, and then I sing in the stations in London and start rehearsing with my second pianist for my show, so it all […]
Hello. I’ve had a cracking day today. I’m sat in a friends place near Newport in Wales, where I am in my own episode of Gavin and Stacey listening to the accent around me. I love it. Dealt with crappy trains again running late (just tired of so many delays) from Manchester but I got […]
Just sat listening to Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. I love this piece. I’m having a moment of feeling ok and not in a state of worry or anxiety. This last couple of weeks has been up and down like a yo-yo. Sometimes there’s so much frustration in me and I’m literally done inside. I’m just ready […]
I like the comedian Micky Flanagan. I love that he’s down to earth and a bit rough underneath it all. Like me really, but I want to do a shout like Micky Flanagan does in his shows. ‘IT’S DOING MY HEAD IN!!!!!!!!!’ I always want to be honest about things and not hide what’s going […]
I’m becoming a ‘jack of all trades’ at the moment. Learning how to not only sing for people, but book theatres and venues, as well as how to market myself and get my Julie Andrews show out there (sorry Opera peeps. Still love the stuff and still singing it but obvs my focus is in […]
It’s Saturday night and I’m in writing my blog. I was singing all week for the charity Lost Chord, singing for the elderly in homes. I did 13 concerts in 5 days and even though I’ve been doing this for 13 years somehow this week it really just made me think. I feel like I […]
