  • Cutting a Long Story Short

    NAWE’s new website ‘Cut a Long Story‘ is finally live, and you can or will soon be able to find several of my stories on there to buy as single story ebooks. The fastest way to find my stuff is via my profile page. I’ve only got one story up at the moment, but I…

  • Third night for Count Ory

    It’s the third performance of The Adventures of Count Ory tonight, with a chance that we get a real thunderstorm, and a certainty that those nun’s habits will be unbearably hot! Apparently I’m a very convincing nun (that’s me far left) and a number of people have said they are reminded of their school days……

  • Blackheath Count Ory gets 4 stars from What’s On Stage

    That’s a headline a girl like to write. read the whole thing here, but a little taster – …proves once again that the words Blackheath Halls and triumph are synonymous. …easy as it would be to dwell on the delights of the principals, it’s the magnificent chorus that deserves most attention… Opera up close has…

  • Outcome Portrait

    A novel experience, I had a portrait photograph taken for a project, Outcome, which uses images of LGBT folk with the tools of their trade and a photo of themselves as a child; the idea being that no matter how confusing or miserable it is growing up, we all go on to make a stab…

  • Towersey Tales – and video

    We had such a lot of fun at Towersey, courtesy of Spread the Word, and a wide variety of venues were performed at. Audience for readings between 30 and 100, participants for workshops around 30, and some of them came back and did the workshop again! Here are some snippets of video of me performing…

  • The Blackheath Onegin book launched

    Most of my free waking hours since finishing the opera (apart from work, singing, partying, holidays…) have been spent fighting with the software to get the book to look beautiful.  Anyone planning to do a photobook on Blurb be warned you need a lot of free RAM.  It does very strange things, like randomly copying…

  • Eugene Onegin – Gallery – Kate Valentine (Tatyana)

    Eugene Onegin – Gallery – Kate Valentine (Tatyana)

    What the reviewers say: Kate Valentine’s Tanya, radiant with optimistic innocence in the ‘letter scene’ The Stage I particularly liked Kate Valentine’s change from diffident ingénue (left alone at her own birthday party after Lensky and Onegin’s row and duel challenge) to assured princess. Classical Music Source Superb: Tatyana dominates (it surely won’t be long…

  • Eugene Onegin – Gallery – Damian Thantrey (Onegin)

    What the reviewers said : Perhaps Damian Thantrey’s chisel-featured Onegin was not self-centred enough (after all, after the performance he opened the door for me as I left), but I liked the way he threw over most of the chairs in his final confrontation with Tatyana. Classic Music Source Damian Thantrey’s slicked-back, cold-fish Onegin impresses.…
