10.Jun.2010 The PA Tour kicks off tomorrow! Read about rehearsals and listen to my latest interview on Wave 105 FM
Hey All,
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged and it’s because I have been so swamped with rehearsals getting set to kick off a PA tour in Canterbury: Dancers — getting costumes sorted (now if I can only sort mine), working with Debbie Austin (choreographer for Will Young among other pop stars) and coming back from a fabulous wedding in Bermuda, it’s been a whirlwind. The wedding was so magical on a gorgeous beach and it was great to have a break from all that’s going on.
But now it’s back to reality — and thank God my mum was around to help with the kids (some on half term, some studying and writing exams!) It’s a bit of a juggle as usual — soccer mum rocker mum strikes again! Sports days and South African soccer and rugby tours for the kids are just around the corner — now if I could just clone myself and be in all these places at one time!
The rehearsals have been gruelling — several hours each day dancing and singing (all the while trying to fend-off my hay fever!) But I am having fun and living the dream! The first gig is this Friday and I think we are about 90% there so more dancing this week til we can do this in our sleep.
The DJs have been loving the remixes although one online reviewer admitted that my tracks really aren’t up her speed and compared me to Avril Levigne. I guess Avril is her taste either but to be honest, if that is the worst review I can get… I really can’t complain.
Meanwhile, both Band of Gold and Symphony are off to be released in Ibiza the 16th of June so cross your fingers for a great summer hit!
Also, the next episode of Upside Down TV is the hilariously funny behind-the-scenes making of the Symphony video in Southend! You soooooo have to watch!
Over half term, I had a great interview on Wave 105.2 (just hit play below) and I took my eight-year-old son Liam to the studio to watch. He was so cute and it was great to have him be a part of some of the hoopla. He even came to see some of the rehearsals which is super especially since he can’t come to any of the shows!
