July Newsletter
Hello Everyone,
Well here we are, past the half way mark for the year.
Won't be long and it will be Christmas (Crikey)
June was a busy month for me. Last weekend was the icing
on the cake doing two shows in the Hawkes Bay region.
I had a very successful evening at the Taradale RSA. Funny
night. I couldn't seem to get people to dance that much but everyone seemed
to be happy just sitting back listening.
I had an awesome time on Saturday performing for the Hawkes
Bay Motor Home Association in Takapau. First time I'd ever been to Takapau
and what a neat venue. It was wonderful to work with SHOTGUN from Napier.
They did a great Job. Thanks guys
The other Guest Artist was Terry Moratti. I'm still
thinking of ways to get him back.
He was a very cheeky man and if you see him in your travels
before I do, kick him in the shins for me.
It was seriously a whole lot of fun. I was quite shocked
to be presented to two blokes taking their undies off in front of me.
What was more worrying was the undies had a big heart drawn
in an appropriate place with my name on it.
You really had to be there. I amagine the stunned look on
my face would have said it all - so anyway now I have to think of ways to get
even !!!
The new album is selling well. I actually sold out down in
Takapau but just got a new batch last Friday.
All albums are now back in stock.
Coming up . . .

I am planning lots of exciting things at the moment.
I'm still working on my trip down the lower North Island in

Titahi Bay.
A few more loose ends to tie up and it'll all be done.
I'm also planning a trek to the upper South Island in February so stayed
tuned for more details.
Keep looking at the gig guide for updates.

Don't forget to vote at this years National Country Music Awards which are
being held in Hamilton on Saturday 14th August.
I have been nominated in the Female Artist section along with some other
fantastic entertainers.
Google KIWI PRO AM and follow the link. There's a Male
Artist Section, Group etc....
This association is doing a great job to promote NZ Country Music. The
Thursday night gigs at Sky City in Hamilton have become so popular, they
have had to shift it to the bigger Vue Bar which is awesome.
Well, that's it for now.
Take care and see you in my travels.
