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.

I am planning lots of exciting things at the moment.
I'm still working on my trip down the lower North Island in October/November.
Shows are confirmed in Taradale, Napier, Waipawa, Foxton, Upper Hutt and 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.  www.joyadams.co.nz
 
 
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.
