Friday 27th July: I'll be singing at a lovely night  called Scaledown, performing as a duo with Justin Paton. The monthly night is  always entertainingly compered with an eclectic line-up of acts, so there's lots  to enjoy. Come along!

I had a brilliant, fascinating time performing in  'Walking Piece,' a promenade dance piece by Matthias Sperling. It took place at  Siobhan Davies Dance studios and comprised of the dancers acting out a series of  tasks, whilst moving in a loop in and around the building. It was an enjoyable challenge to retain physical poise and composure while taking part in playful
activities and interacting with the audience.

I'm very excited to say that Daughters on the Stage are performing our debut show 'The Linzee Way' at the Hen & Chickens Theatre (near Highbury & Islington tube) from Tues 24th - Sat 28th May at 7.30pm.  It's a brand new comedy show that we've created. Come along for a fun night out! 
 
UPDATE - The Linzee Way was a great success and really fun to perform in. It
was amazing to have such an enthusiastic, sell-out response from the audiences
for our work.

Made a radio drama in a day during a course with the radio director Gordon  Lamont. It was inspiring to discover that it was actually possible to improvise, write and record a radio piece in one day!

Started developing and recording a new song, which I think will be called 'Help Myself.'
