Wedding - Sorrento

Played at a wedding in Sorrento at St Mary's Star of the Sea with the Melbourne Chamber Choir. Lovely Christmas themed ceremony with lots of carols. A highlight was performing 'Walking in the Air' from 'The Snowman' by Howard Blake with the choir. Beautiful piece. 


I really enjoy the 'gigging' lifestyle which take me all over the place. I get to see wonderful locations and structures - St Mary's another to the list. The church was built in the 60's and is situated on top of Constitution Hill overlooking the bay. Really quite a unique church with amazing coloured glass windows.

To top off the day my mum and sister decided to make an impromptu trip over on the ferry for a catch up afterwards. Managed to fit three people and my pedal harp in the car - something I had not tried before. Would have been a sticky situation otherwise!

Harp & Friends Christmas Recital

13/12/2013

Second 'Harp & Friends' concert for the year - this time with a Christmas theme. Another great turn out with everyone performing a carol along with their chosen piece. The Christmas theme was very much embraced with performers and guests wearing red, festive hats and mince pies for tea. 

As with the first concert I felt obliged to perform. Always good to feel the same nerves as my students! Also gave me the opportunity to premier an original and drag my family in to accompany. Vivienne caught this set on her mobile and as you can see my little sisters wait patiently until their turn! The night ended with an unrehearsed jam of the 'Shetland Tune' led by my mum Cathy Blake.

Starting to think that I hold concerts just so that I can make flyers!
