Busy Busy Charlotte

UPDATE :  I thought I would spend Sunday morning in Edinburgh handing out the promotional leaflets that I printed off.  So here I am with Gill, Terry and Tom encouraging people to come and watch my concert on Monday  🙂

It’s Thursday night and tomorrow is fast approaching and I am packing for a small road trip  🙂   I have the second of my summer lunch time concerts performing alongside Russell Lomas in Lytham St Annes.  The concert is to start at 02:00 pm and will be held in the Lytham Assembly Rooms, Dicconson Terrace, Lytham, Lancashie, FY8 5JY.

My good friend from the RCS, Tim Edmundson has said that he will try and catch my performance and it would be great to catch up with him and what he has been up to over the summer.

Then after the show we are dashing up to Glasgow to prepare for my next performance in Edinburgh on the Monday 5th August.  This year at the Edinburgh Fringe there is a series of concerts being held at St Mary’s RC Cathedral showcasing the talents of some of the RCS up and coming artists.  I will be performing alongside Marcus Kitchen, on piano, in the opening concert at 13:20 pm and I am really looking forward to this as it will be my first appearance at the Fringe :).  Plus just look above at this fabulous interior I simply can’t wait for Monday.

I was wondering how I could help to promote the event so I decided create leaflet and rope my brother, Tom, and Marcus in to handing them out with me around Edinburgh on Monday morning.  We may have overdone the quantity though we shall have to wait and see…..

On a lighter note one of my blog followers, Cary,  asked me if I had any old photographs of me as King Louis from the Jungle Book, after I mentioned I’d never been Big Bird but I had played King Louis, so I had my Mum dig her old photos out.

By pure coincidence Craig McLean wrote an article in The Telegraph about Disney’s Jungle Book and in particular a clip with King Louis performing my song 🙂  See here:     At the end of the article Lella Smith, the Animation Research Library Creative Director, revealed that Snow White was also drawn with blonde hair – I knew it!  It could have been my role after all 🙂

After our trip down memory lane we found these which I hope make you smile as they made us chuckle 🙂  If any of you guys in these photos are reading this and you don’t mind your face being revealed let me know.

      I’ve recently learnt in Opera circles they say ‘toi toi toi’ to wish you good luck.

    1. Hi Daniel, that would be lovely – maybe if I can I’ll be travelling near to you, the lovely thing about going to a Conservatoire is that you meet friends from all over the world similar to blogging.

    1. Hi Rhys thanks for popping back, I’m really looking forward to my first performance at the Edinburgh Festival, it’s been an ambition of mine since I first heard about the event so I jumped at the chance to take part. I was asked to perform in ‘Si l’enfant ne dort pas bien’ as Charlotte la Chat again but I had a prior commitment sadlyand couldn’t make it for the full run it is on from 12th August.

    1. So very true, the Town I come from, Winsford in Cheshire, England, grew around salt mining by the late 1800’s it was the biggest producer of salt in the UK. There are massive caverns my brother wanted to go down to see them but you can only look on the internet.
      I did have a great time on Friday and hope to again on Monday.
      Thanks,
      Charlotte

  13. Charlotte, have a wonderful time. I’m sure you voice will make these songs soar. And how great to hear about you singing the King Louis tune “I Wanna Be Like You.” It’s so cool to read that…the Jungle Book was my favorite movie as a kid. I’d walk around singing “The Bare Necessities.” And I just saw the original version again, in Chicago, outdoors, at Millennium Park — that was a real treat!

    1. I love outdoor performances, I want to try to get to the Regent Park Theatre in London this summer, I know Charlotte Wakefield who is playing Maria, she went to the same school, ballet school and Stagecoach she left school a couple of years before me.

  19. Have a great time. I just played your You tube recordings to my husband and he was as impressed as I was. We are off to Glyndebourne on Sunday – hope to see you there one day!

    1. How fabulous Hilary, I’m slightly jealous that you’re at Glyndebourne I believe it is a wonderful theatre for Opera and classical events. That is quite a fabulous compliment from you both.

  20. Hi Charlotte,

    Thanks for following my blog and introducing me to your singing. It’s always nice to see people following their dreams in a “non traditional” field. I hope your concerts go well.

    Szilvia.

  21. Hehe. Great pics. I love that they oranged your face even though it’s hardly visible with the face of the costume in place. Thanks for share. 🙂

    The show at St. Mary’s looks great – wonderful program!

    1. Thanks for your good wishes. Lytham was good, I handed out my new cards with the picture of me in the Union Jack dress, and we only printed 100 so I hope they don’t just throw them in the bin 😉 I had to cut them out myself with a hand trimmer, lol
      I’ll do a full post about my concert in Edinburgh today.

  23. Thanks for following my blog! You have a beautiful voice! O Mio Babbino Caro is a song I particularly love listening to as it reminds me of my childhood growing up listening to Opera (my dad is a musician).

    1. I’ve never been to Exeter but my friend Millie started Uni there last September. I love singing in churches and cathedrals the accoustics and atmosphere are so good for a singer.
      Thanks for the luck

  26. Thank you for the follow, Charlotte. I am brand new to this, though it’s something I have fancied for a long time. I am not even sure where it will go, but hopefully with publishing my recipes and helping others. However did you come across me?
    -Thanks again,
    Guen
