Well my solo gig was a success! I was quite nervous but I worked hard to channel my fear into energy and passion - and I think I did. When I was a little bit younger I could not have dealt with the "pressure" of a solo gig as opposed to performing with the band - it sounds silly to think that now, I guess I have just grown up a bit...
I am very shy deep down inside, and I used to crumble at the thought of performing a song on my own. Now I feel compelled to to be myself and show myself, I want to do it - I have to do it!
So today has been the beginning of two new seasons for me, one is the wonderful weatherly transformation into winter, and the other is my new confidence and willingness to just sit there at my piano and play my songs, that I wrote, passionately and fearlessly...

Oh Mechelle! How bold you are! I wish I had been there; I've been listening to your latest cd lots (only now my mum's stolen it). We both agree; you have a beautiful voice...
