​Last week we hit the top 10 in the UK Country Charts with our latest single It Would Be You and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone for downloading and sharing the track! What we didn’t tell you was that the single wasn’t the only new release this month…

We are so excited to finally announce that we will be releasing our second album NEVER SLOWIN’ DOWN on 15th August! It’ll be available for download on iTunes and Amazon from the 15th and physical copies will also be available soon after!

Thank you so much for your support!!

Here are just half of the wonderful, talented people that I get the pleasure of working with every single week. (Some of the Westerham Local Vocals, some of LCA Oxted and some of my vocal students). I am so proud of everyone who took part in the Performance Showcase in Surrey last night! I can’t quite put it into words how proud I actually am. I get to see you grow and develop your talents each week and to see the progress through your performances last night is a feeling I will never forget. You are all so wonderful and I look forward to continuing working with each of you. Thank you so much to everyone who came along and supported the event. And a huge thank you to all who helped with various bits and bobs throughout the evening. It was so special to have you all there… Maybe for next year’s showcase we need a slightly bigger venue…!!

Really pleased to be supporting and raising money for Bloomin’ Arts at the showcase tonight. They are an amazing organisation who provide creative arts training in singing, dancing, drama, music and skill development for adults with learning difficulties. They solely rely on funding to run classes and activities, put on shows and provide fantastic opportunities for their members. I strongly believe that the creative arts are a key part of personal development for young people and adults of all ages and it’s so important to support each other. If you’re coming along tonight please visit the website for more information.
All donations at the showcase will be very much appreciated.

Over the past few months I have been planning and putting together a ‘Performance Showcase’ (which is something I have wanted to do for years!!). It will be taking place tomorrow at the Oxted School Drama Studio in Surrey. There will be performances from a number of my vocal students; singers and actors of varying ages, the Westerham Local Vocals group and some of the wonderful LCA Stage Academy Oxted performers! I am so proud of every single person I work with week to week and can’t wait for families and friends of those performing to see how hard they work and how brilliant they all are. I am so grateful to those who continuously show their support.

Oh I am so excited!

The beginning of 2016 has been a whirlwind and I can’t quite believe we are already nearly half way through February. Time certainly does fly when you’re having fun!

So alongside ORFILA, my vocal coaching 1:1 tuition and LCA, I am pleased to announce that I am the new Music Director for the ‘Westerham Local Vocals‘ group!

I am so thrilled to be working with such a lovely, friendly, welcoming group of people who just LOVE to sing!! It’s been great fun so far and it has only been a couple of weeks. I’m already booking gigs for WLV to show the world what they can do! (Of course, there are plenty of harmonies in the pieces we are working on, have no fear!). If you’d like to keep up with all things WLV and to see what we are up to, please visit the official sites:

The story featured on the front page of the Westerham County Border News and there was an article and pic in the Sevenoaks Chronicle last week too:

I’m very much looking forward to this adventure!

There are some exciting things coming up for LCA, ORFILA, WLV and my vocal coaching, which I’ll hopefully be able to announce soon.

Have a great weekend!

Since opening LCA in August 2015, I am so so so proud of how far we have come in just a few months. Both the Ashford and Oxted schools are growing each term and we’re welcoming wonderful, lovely, talented performers to join us on a regular basis. I’m so beyond grateful to everybody for spreading the word about LCA! Your support means so much.

I am so pleased to announce that we are now booking for our Musical Theatre Summer Workshops 2016 which will be running in Ashford and Oxted in August. (Five days of total Musical Madness!!!!)

Please check out: www.lca-stage.com or contact info@LCA-stage.com for more information.

Head to the official twitter and facebook pages to keep up to date with what we’re up to and be the first to know about all future workshops!
