Recording, Christmas Carols and other projects

It seems like I am doing lots of recording at the moment.

Firstly I have been recording with the 3 sopranos on Victor Michael's new album. This has been lots of fun as he has some original tracks that we have had to learn too. I have a feeling in my gut about this one. I don't want to jinx it, but I think it is going to be a great album once it is finished. Just listening to the rough recorded version was exciting. And that's pre-production. Plus it was so easy to record. We recorded most of our vocals in one take. That doesn't happen very often!

I have also been asked to travel to Gloucester to record the Composer Christopher Boodle's Christmas Carol "Christe Salve" as a solo Soprano. He has asked that I dress up glamorously and we are going to make a music video to go with the track also. That could be fun! It seems that Christmas arrives earlier and earlier every year. But I don't mind. I love singing carols in churches. It reminds me of crooning "Away in a Manger" at the age of 6 with my sisters at my Mum's annual Charity Christmas Choir Concert. Who'd have thought that from such humble beginnings I would have got such a thirst for singing!

But most exciting of all (well for me atleast) is my new secret project. I don't want to give away too much at these early stages, but it's something I have been thinking about for a long time. And it is finally going to happen. I will reveal all in time. Be patient!

Keep smiling!
