We are now at home for a few days before we embark on a long drive to Kendal and Budleigh Salterton on Friday/Saturday. It is always nice to perform at UK venues and to English audiences. I fondly remember how much of a shock I got when I did my first tour of America. As a freelance singer in London, I was accustomed to the shimmer of polite applause between each piece, so you can imagine my utter shock when thousands of Americans were simply going hysterical - sometimes before our songs had even finished!
It was great to spend some time with our new bass, Johnny, in Germany last week. We had some very productive rehearsal time with him and he is going to fit into the job perfectly. The weeks/months leading up to starting your life as a King's Singer are truly a roller coaster of emotions as it is such a life style change for everybody involved. Nothing can really prepare you for spending so much time away from home and the constant stream of music learning that each singer must do. Thankfully, we all have a very supportive network of family and friends, which allows us to enjoy this fantastic job to the full.
I leave you with a picture taken from our hotel in Millstatt - stunning scenery. Not a bad setting for breakfast!!
