Sorry for my extended silence but I've been doing a little moving. As I'm sure I've mentioned before my hometown is Brisbane in Australia. For some time now I've been planning a trip back home to finish the final year of my Creative Industries degree and it's finally happened. 

The trip was planned to coincide perfectly with the remarriage of BWs father in England, then my flight, then the marriage of my older brother to his gorgeous fiancee. It seems in choosing to leave this year I'm also missing out on no less than 4 weddings this year in Brighton. Unbelievable. It seems that love is in the air.

Which of course leads to my heartbreaking separation from BW. Not emotionally but physically, as we are going to conduct our relationship long distance style. Of course there is the blessing of Skype, facebook, email & phone and it does really get me thinking about how our grandparents and great grandparents endured months and years apart with only the occasional letter received months after it's send date.

You get a heightened understanding of why music like The Andrew Sisters was so popular and so important in boosting troop morale. Songs such as 'Three Sisters' assuring them that their sweethearts back home were staying faithful and true.

My final little piece of news is that I may be rescheduling my trip to Melbourne to perform as my costumes and props haven't arrived yet. I'll keep you updated on my next show so watch this space! Additionally if you are a promoter in Australia and would like to have me perform don't forget you can get in touch through the Contact page of my website.
