It was a pleasure to sing with Cantores Olicane last night in Ilkley. This picture was taken during my performance of Adelaide's Aria from The Enchanted Pig ✨️🐖 Thank you to the wonderful @CharliePerryMus for the invite!
Prepping some Britten and Barber for a concert next weekend and feeling very spoilt to have two of the song recordings on this album by @AilishTynanEire and @iainburnside 😍 If you want a lesson on how to perform song definitely have a listen to this pair!
A year and a half ago I moved to London during a pandemic to pursue my singing career. A year and a half later, after working various jobs and 50+ hours a week to stay afloat, I handed in my notice so that I can follow my dreams as a freelance singer. Boy does it feel good 🌟
