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 […]

Feeling the strain of following my heart……


Blog

I’m sat in my room in Bushwick in Brooklyn and I had just nearly finished my blog post and the computer just suddenly closed down Firefox and I lost it all. I was nearly finished and the only time I haven’t saved it as I’ve gone along. It’s been one of those shitty days tbh. […]

Cause I’m free to do what I want any old time


Blog

Hi Everyone, I’m in my own little world today. Very much ‘do not disturb’ going on and having some time to myself. I’ve been moving around so much recently that I just need to focus a bit and get organised and things planned in my head down on paper so I can feel a little […]

Feel the fear and fricking do it anyway…….


Blog

Hi All, I’m just sat in my friends apartment in Belgium. I was singing at a ‘white picnic’ event this afternoon in Knokke, which for all who don’t know is a wealthy part of Belgium where the ‘bourgeoisie’ live. I was asked by a man I’ve sang quite a lot for over the past few […]

Back in the Blighty hood…….


Blog

Hi All, I’m in Derby at the moment with my friend Gaynor (Pride and Prejudice Colin Firth part of England). Just back from singing on the streets again over here. It’s been a while so it was nice to do it again. I had a few requests for Puccini and a couple of ‘thanks me […]

The Big Apple Part 6


Blog

Hello Everyone, This is my last new York blog post for the time being. I have only 4 more nights here (boo flippin hoo). Gosh, I really felt it earlier today. Sat in Union Sq watching the world go by with tears in my eyes just thinking about leaving. I went to the soup kitchen […]

The Big Apple Part 5


Blog

Hi Everyone, I like doing my blog and telling my story. I never thought I would be a writer but I do enjoy writing about what I’m doing but I’m gutted that ANOTHER two weeks has gone by. It’s going too fast. The people who know me really well know I have spent the last […]

The Big Apple Part 4


Blog

Hello Everyone, I’m just sat in my sublet in Bushwick, Brooklyn listening to an 80’s playlist on Spotify as I write. Whitney Houston and all that. I’ve been here for just over two weeks and I really like living here. The area is cool and down to earth, with a good community vibe and I […]

The Big Apple Part 3


Blog

Hello. Just spent the last few hours here and this is my view right now. I’m just sat in Bryant Park not that far from Times Square. There are loads of little parks here with seats and you just rock up, get on the internet and people watch to your hearts content. There’s some Shakespeare […]

The Big Apple Part 2


Blog

Hello from New York, a loony bin of a place where anything goes and if you feel like expressing yourself in whatever way you want, get on with it. Noone will make you feel bad or strange for it. You need to talk loudly on your phone having an argument, do it. You need to […]

The Big Apple Part 1


Blog

Hi Everyone, I’m sat in my room in Brooklyn. My new pad for the whole of May: I’m tired. It’s been a busy few days since I arrived in New York. I knew if I didn’t pull back tonight and just have a rest I would be fit for nothing tomorrow. A lot has happened […]
