Back from the studio

Posted on June 28, 2015 by admin

Since I last penned anything I’ve been quite busy with meeting lots of wonderful new friends in local C of E, Elim and Methodist fellowships. Having the opportunity to share and sing with them has been incredible and a very different experience in every place – each of us is so unique! Thank  you for inviting me to share in your services and meet God together!

Last month I ventured into the studio again to record 4 new songs with Andy Baker and the Resound Media team at their new studios in Gloucestershire. Situated on the estate of a beautiful family who open up their house for artists to stay and enjoy their family life – complete with feeding the cat (a beautiful Coon Maine cat called Marcus!) and mucking in with doing the dishes and preparing the veggies for dinner! Andy (Production, arrangement, guitar, piano and all round music wizz) and Aron (amazing sound technician and drummer) made the songs sound incredible and added another dimension to the sound. We had a really productive 2 days and I can’t wait to hear the first mixes due in July!

So the new EP titled ‘Like and Eagle’ should be available late August – in time for some solo gigs I’m planning later in the year.

More news on dates for that as they happen!

2012-2014 One great big blog!

Posted on January 23, 2015 by admin

Well this has to be one big blog to start off with – mainly because I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to update anything on line since 2012! I’ve recorded a CD, met my future husband, got married and moved house. In between all that I’ve had the wonderful opportunity of singing at church meetings all over Stoke on Trent, Christmas Carol shows at shopping centres, nursing homes and a trip to Israel. All in all a very busy but glorious 2 years!

Now that I have a little more time to plan, I shall be keeping up with making sure that the site is updated regularly with event and gig dates through 2015. But in the meantime, here is a very brief rundown of the highlights of 2012-2014.

Here’s me ministering at a New Year’s Conference 2012 in Oklahoma, USA. It’s always a great joy to be able to share the presence of God with family. This was a wonderful time spent with friends who I don’t get to see too often (being across ‘the pond’!) And also gave me 3 days preparation before starting at the studio to record the vocals for ‘My Beloved Calls’. Here we are fuelling up before hitting the studio where Mike the Audio Tech works his magic!

Once back in the UK I met lots of wonderful people at churches throughout Staffordshire and Cheshire as I shared songs from the CD and God touched many people’s hearts. During the Christmas season our church gets together to prepare a carol (and love song) selection for the shopping centres and supermarkets that invite us to sing to the shoppers. We have such a great time of conversation, sing a longs and again being aware that God is making His love known. Precious times!

And a wonderful day – I married my husband Mike at St Marys Church, Astbury. The sun shone all day and in our hearts ever since!

Now looking ahead to 2015 I’m planning a series of solo gigs to include tracks from ‘My Beloved Calls’ along with new songs in acoustic and backing track sets. Please check the ‘Events’ page for details as they are booked and I hope to see you somewhere in 2015!!
