Another test of my vocal talents on trip

CAN'T believe it. I've just sung All That Jazz, on stage, with the multi-Olivier Award nominated Josefina Gabrielle!

- 

Well, along with 24 others. The occasion was my fourth foray into the world of musical theatre with Sing Eat Retreat in Tarifa, Spain, in which professional West End MDs and vocal and stagecraft coaches lead you through your vocal journey.

That sounds a bit AI, doesn’t it? What I’m trying to say is whatever voice you give them, they hone and buff it and give you a better one back!

The first course I ever did was a week of Abba. A great introduction if your comfort zone is confined to the shower or with 70 others in a choir!

I then moved onto a week immersed in the music of the man who gave us felines, phantoms, Jesus, Joseph and Evita. Andrew Lloyd Webber. After engaging my inner Dancing Queen this was another rung up the ladder altogether. Well, quite a few actually, and despite wrong footing myself on a couple of occasions, by the end of the week I'd come across some notes I didn’t know I had!
