This year I have decided to take on another challenge! On Wednesday 4th November (yes.. TOMORROW!!) I will be visiting as many local infant schools as I possibly can within the school day, along with the lovely BBC South crew filming me every step of the way! The aim is to perform a song of mine, spread a bit of love and positivity and hopefully raise a bit of money for Children in Need as well! I hope that some of the children even join in and sing/clap! So far I have a list of 6 schools I need to get to… Wish me luck!
One school on the list in particular is very close to my heart. It was the school my Mum taught at. She was a wonderful teacher and I know the school really miss her now she is no longer with us. The children made a beautiful stained glass window memorial for her which I hope I can share with you all, too.
This is due for broadcasting the following day on BBC South, but I will keep you all informed as and when!

What an amazing evening. Firstly, I want to say a huge thank you to Eagle 3, and Eagle FM for being such a wonderful radio station! It’s so amazing to have their continued support, especially as they’re my local station!
For those of you who don’t know… G-Live has always been my dream venue to play. It’s a huge local venue to me, and ever since being built I’ve had aspirations of playing it.
When I was asked to headline the Local Showcase for Eagle FM at G-Live I was completely blown away…
It was an amazing night. I played Riptide, Once, Anywhere, Helium, So Stop the World and I even managed to silence 500+ people for “Sunflower” which I performed on my own.
Here are some pictures:
Here’s a video of Sunflower taken by Stuart (eagle3 founder) from back stage:
I have no words for how much that meant to me. I felt my Mum with me at that moment and it made me quite emotional after the gig.
I would also like to thank our incredible sandman, my amazing band and all the other acts who played that night who were AWESOME!

Words can’t describe this incredible opportunity I had given to me by the wonderful Chris Evans last Thursday. I played to 35,000 people on the main stage.. It was AMAZING!
When Take That went on just after me, we were about 10 yards away from them.. It was a really special moment for me. I suddenly remembered being an 8 year old girl on the way to school listening to Chris Evans in the morning playing Take That singles from way back then… I don’t think in my wildest dreams I would have thought I’d be on stage at Chris’s festival going on right before them! Here’s the end of “Riptide”.
I told you I was close to Take That!
It was an amazing weekend, I was there with my best friend Kate and the gorgeous Sam, we had a blast! Thanks so much Chris Evans, Hiten and everyone else involved with organising the event… It was spectacular.
