I have been working hard on preparing my essays this week and with my first solo recital of 2014 coming up next Wednesday, the 12th February, I thought it would be a good idea to create a poster for the event 🙂
I have a second lunchtime recital in Bury, Lancashire on Friday, 14th February and I am looking to add a little St Valentine’s Day flair to my poster for that performance 🙂
These recitals should be a great way for me to kick off the 2014 season and I do hope that if any of you can make it to the venue that you will say hello 🙂
wish I lived near you, Charlotte. I would love coming to your recital. I know you’ll be wonderful and your hard work will be on display.
Hi Deanie, Southport is a bit of a trek for me too 😉 It’s a classic English seaside resort 20 miles north of Liverpool. I’m hoping that Gill will be able to record a couple of songs for me so that I can review them.

Sorry what a stunning picture.. hold on…
Okay wow. back on this planet…
Enjoy your performances.no need to say it I am sure you will.
Keep smiling. and have a fantastic year.
Ha ha ha, thank you I hope its nice weather so that more people come.
Best wishes 🙂

Good luck! I wish I could attend – or, play that flute part. Elizabeth Lawton is SO LUCKY!!
It is a beautiful piece Trisha and quite new to me, so I hope I do the French justice. Elizabeth is a wonderful flautist who studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland; she is in her fourth year now.

Charlotte
I’m going to look if up. I hope I get to hear a recording of you performing it!
Lovely photo! Have a fun concert and knock him dead with your gorgeous voice! That means you will be wonderful as always! Xo
Thanks Janice, I’ve had a couple of run-throughs with Russell and just need to put some more work into my new piece Saint-Saens Une Flute Invisible.

Wish I could be there, Charlotte! Best of luck. I’ve shared the link to your post with my friends in the UK 🙂
Thank you for the share Cynthia and the good luck that’s always useful.

Charlotte
I like your poster! 🙂 If I lived in the area (or even in the same country), I would come, but sadly I’m a little too far away… Hope it goes well though! 🙂
Thank you for the share Cynthia 🙂 and the good luck that’s always useful.

Show them what you got, you will be fantastic. Nice poster and a beautiful picture!
Thanks Isabel, my Dad plays around on Photoshop for my posters.

Charlotte
Best of luck to you! Like most everyone else who commented, I wish I were near enough to enjoy your performance live. In lieu of that I hope you will post an excerpt of your performance.
I’ll see what I can do Zane, the only problem with recordings on the family camcorder is the echo and reverberation in these lovely churches.
Best wishes
Charlotte
Good luck! Great poster.
Thanks Dan, hope you are well I’ll let you know how it goes I have a busy week next week, two recitals, a competition and a recording with the Tideswell Male Voice Choir. I thought I was in Bridge week next week. So I’m getting a bit of rest this week in preparation.

I’d like to be there, Charlotte, but that’s a bit of a drive from Denver! Good luck.
Thanks Matt, my Dad wants me to record a CD in a studio this year or next so when I get around to it I’ll let you know and you can listen and imagine you’re there 😉
Best wishes
Charlotte
I’m all for that. Let me know when that happens and I’ll be among the first to buy!
Well, all the best for your first solo concert this year, Charlotte. Should be nice with the flautist and pianist accompanying. The acoustics in the church hall would be great for your recital. Have a lovely day! 🙂
This will be my first performance with a flautist so that’s exciting. Russell and I have played together several times and that’s always a fun, professional experience for me.
Best wishes
Charlotte
I love the poster and very best of luck. Enjoy!!
Thank you I’m soaking up the luck 😉
Best wishes
Charlotte
Great poster! Good luck to you!
Just got to choose what to wear now 😉 your photo’s inspire me, I’ll have to try to do a floating shot one day.
Best wishes

Love the poster!
Hope the concert goes well.
Thanks Philip, hope the New Year is going well for you

Love the poster. Break a leg
Thanks John, Dad’s experimenting with black and white, but his spiral and circle designs didn’t fit for a church recital, I think he was inspired by the contemporary church windows in Chester Cathedral at the weekend.
Best wishes
Charlotte
Well, if you let us have details of where and when, I’ll make the effort to get to Bury next Friday, and this time I’ll introduce myself.

That would be fabulous Martin I’ll put out another poster this weekend I just need to confirm the address and times.

I’ll see what I can do 😉 not as good as a live performance though.
That’s exciting – your 1st solo recital of the year! Lovely poster, and all the best to your recital!

Lovely poster, Charlotte. What graphics software did you use? I’ve been trying out Lucidpress.com, which is free because it’s in beta testing, and I like it.
My brothers already had Photoshop for school enterprise and graphic design products so my Dad experiments with it with me butting in my two penneth. I’ll tell him about Lucidpress thanks 😉
Best wishes
Charlotte
Have an epic recital! 😉
Ahh David I see what you did there picking up on my new favourite word 😉
If I get through my new French song it’ll be epic 😉 lol
Best wishes
Charlotte
best of luck.. I hope that we will be treated to a recording here on your site!
Wish you the best and job well done
