May 2011
A lot has been happening lately and I have been very tardy at updating the news here.
Our Voices Three show at the Sid Williams Civic Theatre was a sell out! Thank you to everyone that came out - we all had a blast and as a bonus we raised $5000 for charity!
Now the Voices Three show is done I have been hard at work learning frailing banjo. It is so much fun (and not as easy as it looks!) - it is going to be a long learning process but one I am looking forward to.
Gigs are lining up for the year, and have lots of good shows happening up and down the Island and now a festival in the UK, Roots North, for the end of September - hopefully more UK dates to follow.
I also had some more TV commercial placements which was fun - one for Nike and some for the Mechanics Bank - it is always fun to see how they use your music!
Okay! back to the banjo.....
December 2010
Well, tis the season and the sunshine is a welcome relief from the cold and rain. It has been a fantastic year with some fun performances and new friends.
December is a busy time this year as I am gearing up for our annual "Voices Three" Concert with good friends Helen Austin and Judy & Bruce Wing. Lots to learn and challenge myself with.
I hope that the festive season is a good one for you all and that 2011 is all you would wish it to be. Thank you for your support!
Wow!
What can I say? The Vancouver Island MusicFest was incredible! I got to share the stage with some amazing musicians…Mae Moore, The Beez, Rakish Angles, Don Amero, Todd Butler, Judy Wing, Baskery, Dave Harris, Lester Quitzau, Richard Caissie, Helen Austin, Gary Preston & Anita Bonkowski to name just a few. If you are not familiar with these performers I encourage you to check them out!
I count myself very lucky to have not only amazing friends but also really, really talented ones. My dear friend Judy Wing sang harmony vocals with me on my concert stage - she has the most amazing voice. I hope we will get to hear her and her husband Bruce perform at MusicFest in the near future. I also had the wonderful Gidd Hampton on guitar. It was nice to have the support of friends on stage (and in the audience!)
