| Sat 16th April 2011 at 18:47 |  Talk about 'drama of the week!' - a difficult get in at the theatre followed by a fabulous concert in Orlando - all mixed in with a total computer wipeout - and it being returned to the UK with Linda for fixing ( the computer needs fixing. not Linda!) - planning meetings with Dirk for our next season , no email access and frantic messages to the UK seaking info on all sorts of matters - yes - it's been a very dramatic week. But its always darkest just before the dawn and thanks to our webmaster in the UK I now have access to the website and blog to update it and should be able to access my emails - thats the next job - so thanks Rich and Graham in sunny Northallerton, UK.
So coming up real soon - the launch of our next season in Orlando on Tuesday April 26 - 7.30pm - usual venue at Christ the King on Apopka - our upcoming concert in Tampa on June 4 - and I can now work on getting out the details and booking forms for our Sound of Music tour to Austria, Europe happening in December - so watch your emails they should be pretty busy over the next few days
See you all real soon - keep watching my blog now I have access to it - phew!!! |

| Sun 27th March 2011 at 22:43 | Hello everyone - so after several - nay numerous weeks without a blog -I'm back! Thanks to the amazing skill and talents of my medical team here who have undoubtably saved my life! - and thank you not only to these amazing 'Angels in Scrubs' but to all our singers and friends all over the world who have and continue to keep me sane - and going!
So - upwards and onwards - our fantastic fun concert Sing the Magic of Musicals is set to open in Orlando at the Plaza Theatre on Bumby on April 9 with a showtime of 3.30pm - get your tickets now as it is gonna be amazing - and will perform in Tampa on Sat June 4 ( note the change of date) - so there is a lot to look forward to - and I am now working on our next season which will include an International Mass for Peace in honour of the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 - and an all new fun concert in October at the Plaza and also in Tampa - plus a trip to Austria to perform in amazing Palaces and venues in December and then of course Candlelight - so there is so much to look forward to and be involved in
This is just for starters - so much more tomorrow
Its great to be back !!!!! |

| Sun 21st November 2010 at 19:27 | ........ tomorrow to be exact..... - but first off will all singers doing Candlelight check your emails - there is an amazing opportunity on your compter which came in yesterday which we didnt expect - but we have been waiting for it ever since we were formed - but I need a response from you all before the end of today - if you have responded - fab - and 19 of you have - we have room for more - thank you - but I dont think a lot of you have checked your emails.
For Sing Live UK we have some pretty good weather waiting for you - in the 80's mostly with little sign of rain but a cold front may come in next weekend which will take the temps down into the 70's - yea - big deal!!.
Disappointing news for the UK singers though - the launch of the space shuttle Discovery has been delayed until Dec 3 due to a split in the nitrogen fuel tank - sorry - the impossible we can do but I cant fix that in time, super glue won't do it- I dont have my tool kit here. But safety of the astronauts is paramount.
So to the UK - have a safe flight and I will see you at the airport tomorrow - and to the USA - lots of great things coming and dont forget the social event with Sing Live UK at the Regal Sun hotel ( formerly the Grovsenor) on Hotel Plaza Blvd on Tuesday - 7pm onwards.
Exciting times ahead - eeekkkkkk !!!!! - can't wait |

| Thu 18th November 2010 at 14:21 | Another screamingly busy week or so with little time to blog but lots of great planning going on.The details of the singing trip to Minneapolis are now out as are the Workshop details on Dec 4 - please help me to plan these efficiently by responding to the email so I know asap how many of you are coming - thanks.
Am also planning the musical content of our next season here starting in January and performing in both Orlando and Tampa in April - and it is certainly going to be an action packed stage and musicals themed singing adventure with lots of solo and ensemble opportuites for all. I will be revealing more details of this at the workshop on Dec 4 and forms will be available to sign up then!
It is now only a matter of 4 sleeps before Sing Live UK hit Orlando on Monday and I know there are many many excited Brits out there with clothes strewn everywhere ready to go into suitcases - and they dont know what to pack. The rumour mill abounds internationally - and this time it makes me laugh - that it is rainy and cloudy here - yea right - we wish! - we are on water shortages and fire alerts! The weather forcasters here are remarkably accurate so here we go - the first number is the high - the second number is the evening low - in deg F - so from arrival date on Monday Nov 22 = Monday - 80/59 - Tuesday - 80/60 - Wednesday 81/61 - all with very little or no chance of rain! So its summer clothes - the pool - and cover ups for evening.
Get packing and looking forward to seeing you all at the airport on Monday |

| Thu 28th October 2010 at 17:46 | After a week in Rome - a one day turnaround and then a weeks visit here with my family I am finally settling back into some kind of a routine. I really need a vacation to get over my families vacation - and living here I cant understand why Brits save up all year to come and spend every day in the Parks - it is just so tiring!!

A fantastic opportunity and if you havent done this before its a must do singing experience
We are having a social get together with Sing Live UK on Tuesday November 23 - 7.30pm onwards at the Regal Sun Resort Hotel, 1850 Hotel Plaza Boulevard Lake Buena Vista - meet in the lobby bar - all Sing Live USA singers friends and guests welcome - there will be no rehearsal in Orlando on this night.
Am working on getting rehearsal CD's for Candlelight out next week - they are all new and everyone really needs one
We are having a golf day with Sing Live UK on Monday November 29th - we need three more players - anyone interested? - ladies especially welcome - let me know at rehearsals.
