1 November - Roma Ladies Darts League Presentation Night, Singer
Last November I was Singer, DJ and Karaoke host for Cherie and Troy's wedding. Cherie is the President of the Ladies Darts League, she and the other ladies were keen to have me back as a singer for their annual presentation night. My PA system and cordless mic were also used during the presentation.
What a fun night! After the presentation of the many medals, trophies and plaques, there was a fashion parade - the men made rather gorgeous ladies! They then kept the fun going and had a dance while I sang "Man I Feel Like a Woman".
It was an incredibly hot evening, so it was great to see everyone dancing all night regardless. They seemed to be big fans of Rock and Roll, calling out "we love this rock stuff". Some requests included "Unchained Melody" by Righteous Bros, "Amazed" by Lonestar, "Down on the Corner" by CCR and "Everything" by Michael Buble.
25 October - unavailable for gigs...
I went and saw one of my idols, Stevie Wonder (!) at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre - simply perfect! Wonderful! Magical! A real dream come true.
5 October - Nicole and Nathan's Wedding, Singer/DJ/Karaoke
A gorgeous wedding at the Golden Ox, Margate. I sang "You and I" as Nicole made her way down the aisle and joined hands with Nathan. After the beautiful ceremony, and while photos were being taken, I sang some quiet background music before moving to set up inside for the reception.
In the reception room I was rather spoiled with a beautiful stage to set up on! The first dance song requested was for me to sing "This I Promise You" by Ronan Keating - a gorgeous song, and a beautiful first dance by the bridal couple.
Nicole's parents both reassured me that I could decide everything to play, and alternate from Singer to DJ whenever I felt would suit, which worked very well for this laid-back crowd. Towards the end of the night we opened the floor to karaoke with the most memorable performances being Steven with "Bust a Move", a duet by Darryl (Father of the Bride), and Nathan (Groom) of "Hey Jude", and of course the Bridal couple with "You're the One I Want".
4 October - Vicki's 50th, Singer/DJ/Karaoke
Happy 50th Vicki! A great night, although quite hot. Many guests spent most of their time outside in the cool breeze, and I was singing to an empty room a lot! Vicki just asked for more volume so they could hear.
Some party-goers were still keen to have a dance regardless of the heat, and had a lot of fun.
13 Sept - Mansfield State School "Colours and Cultures Festival", DJ
It was great fun seeing all the dances organised by the students, each class had their own presentation. The cultural food on offer was amazing and music from all over the world was enjoyed by all.
12 September - Peak Crossing Fete, Singer
The entertainment line up included Kerryanne, Bernie Carson and Neil Duddy. A lot of fun was had by all, with rides, dances and fireworks at the end of the evening.
