BBC RADIO 2 PLAYLIST – A Place Called You!

Jul 27, 2013 | News, Radio and TV

I couldn’t quite believe my eyes when I woke up to 3 text messages from my team yesterday all saying “Emma, you make the playlist again!” It is the most humbling feeling in the world to know that NATIONAL RADIO… (BBC RADIO 2!!!!!) Like my songs enough to put them on their playlist for all their 15.3 million weekly listeners to hear. I am so grateful to everyone who keeps believing in me and supporting me. Being an unsigned (broke) artist can be so hard, but life is about ups and downs – this is possibly the biggest “UP” I could have imagined right now as far as my career goes. 🙂 HAPPYYYYYY!!!!!

The Show Must Go On!

Jun 28, 2013 | News

Being a gigging musician isn’t always easy. I travel up and down the country singing and playing my socks off. In this case I wasn’t wearing any and I wish I had! In fact, I was so confident that my little red bug would make it up to London that I didn’t even bring a coat. How wrong I was! Some of you may know by now that my bug (otherwise known as “Stage-it-Bug” – many of you helped me get it fixed last time after I performed a Stageit show with Jenn Bostic – THANK YOU!) isn’t exactly the most reliable car in the world. But it’s got character!
Anyway, I digress. Bug broke down. About 30 minutes away from a very important gig I was doing for ITV! But does that stop me…? NO WAY!!
I left my car stranded in a little private car park, packed up my stand, microphone, guitar, leads and handbag (only having two hands is SO inappropriate!) and decided to “make my own way there”. Sadly it was raining and the only thing I had in my car was my sister’s old York University hoodie (it certainly doesn’t take degree in common sense to remember to always take a coat with you wherever you go in England). So 1 mile walk (in silly shoes) 3 trains rides later and a further walk I eventually make it to the gig.
WHICH WENT REALLY WELL!!! YAY!!! (Thank GOODNESS!)
I then made my way back to my car where I met the friendly RAC man who then towed me back home. Oh dear.
I am just so glad I left plenty of time to get to the gig!
Here is the result of a broken down car and a girl determined make sure the show goes on! (If you are squeamish, look away!)
