Kia Ora!!!

Great news! I'm performing in Wellington at the NZ International Festival of the Arts, March 2008. The piece has been commissioned by the Festival and you can read more on their official website!

I only have 5 weeks to learn the role and therefore I have put the pressure on myself by 'writing' a diary of the private rehearsal I do on the piece which I broadcast on 'you tube'! So please join me on you tube for a sneak peek into how I prepare a role by rehearsing the piece and studying the book by Anne Salmond upon which the opera is based ( 'The trial of the cannibal dog' ) and also join me at the gym. The youtube website is

Apart from this I rehearse for the birthday of Te Papa on February 16th 2008 which will be a performance of the piece Te Papa with the NZSO.

Recently I have looked on the web and found out that a lot of sites are selling my albums even though they are not allowed! So please buy my classical music from Trust  Cds and my folk music from my site! Or I might never see the proceeds!
