“If you want something, you work hard for it”…
Last weekend ORFILA were asked to play at a Christmas Concert in Folkestone for mine and Abi’s ex piano and music teacher, Mrs Thorogood. She has recently been awarded an MBE for her work in music and teaching. She has inspired us all for so many years, worked us hard and always encouraged us to pursue music as a career.
In our music lessons, I remember she would always say: “If you want something, you work hard for it… and I know you girls will…”. Sometimes you meet someone who will stay with you your whole life no matter where you go. Mrs Thorogood is definitely one of those people in my life. She is one of the most professional, kind-hearted people I have ever met. I’m sure a lot of her students, old and new, would agree that she is a fantastic teacher and we are all extremely lucky and fortunate to have been taught by such a fantastic musician and incredible teacher.
A huge thank you for everything you’ve done for us over the years and many congratulations go out to you for such an amazing achievement!

A Christmas Carol: The Musical
I have recently been cast as ‘The Ghost of Christmas Past’ in ‘A Christmas Carol: The Musical’.
I have always loved this christmas story. When I was in primary school, our christmas show was ‘A Christmas Carol’ – I played Mrs Cratchit… Oh the memories!!? However, this time I am in a musical version and its brilliant!
Rehearsals are now underway and the show will be running at The Tower Theatre in Folkestone from Saturday 30th November-Sunday 8th December!
It’s such a pretty musical! I’m so excited!! ♥
