Hey everyone so its been a couple of weeks since I have wrote my blog
and as usual I have been gigging up and down the country. By far my
favourite performance was at Cumbernauld LIVE on the 18th of August
where I joined acts such as Raintown and Bags of Rock to perform at the
yearly event at Cumbernauld Shopping Centre.

Being a songwriter I love nothing more than performing the songs that I
have wrote acoustic as it shows off my voice and writing skills better
so I was very happy to perform this event with my guitarist Bobby
Watson who really is one of the most talented guitarists I know.

We performed all my favourite tracks from my debut album "Adulation"
including SuperDiva, Claustrophobia and my new single First Love. Plus
we managed to sneak in a cheeky cover of a medley of all of Cheryl
Coles songs and we even threw a wee bit of Love Machine by Girls Aloud into
the mix. It was a bit of a random Cheryl Cole medley but somehow it
worked even though Bobby and I had only came up with the arrangement a
couple of nights before.

I attended the Scottish New Music Awards with my mum, my photographer

Terry and my good friend Nicole. However I was gutted that I never won Pop

Recording of The Year but it was still a huge achievement to be nominated.

I ended up just leaving early and getting drunk at my local bar with boyfriend nothing like drowning
your sorrows lol!

However I was very happy that my good friends Raintown won 2 awards.
Raintown are a fab Country Pop Duo from Scotland and they recorded their album in the same studio as I did
mine so we go way back lol.

Oh and I also got the time to get my hair done and got some chocolate highlights added to my blonde hair, a wee change!!!

Here is some pictures of me at Cumbernauld LIVE and at The Scottish New Music Awards with event organiser Bruce Hotchkins.

Lots of Love
