The camera never lies....

unfortunately. A spin off from doing a big high-profile gig like Armistice Day is that you get your photo taken and then some kind soul sends you the photos. There's a reason why I don't sing in front of a mirror very often and this is it:

Not a pretty sight.

Coming up for air!

It's been a while! Loads happening over the last month so the blog hasn't been as active as it would normally.
Singing has been pretty busy, as has the day job, which is my excuse for no blog entries for nearly two months.
I did a recital last Saturday. First time I've ever held a whole concert down on my own (with the astonishingly good accompaniment of Chris Howard, of course). It went really well and I loved every second. Even managed to make a bit of money and get a spread in the local paper. All very exciting.
I've also made my debut in front of royalty, on Armistice Day at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas. Earl of Wessex was a lot better looking in real life that he is on the telly and was extremely nice to wait in the bitter cold until I finished singing to say thank you. Clearly very well brought up....
Only one more big concert before Christmas and only a couple of other much more low key gigs and then I can kick back and enjoy the yuletide festivities....
