Carinda Christie  News

April 12th 2008

Hello hello,

 

So much news, where to start.  Oh how about this:-                                                           

In the wee hours of Saint Paddy’s Day the 17th of March a baby boy was born. 

Aaron Jack Christie 7pnd 12 Oz came into the world peeing everywhere.

He is a serious little man, always frowning and staring at everyone intently.

He gave me his first real smile yesterday, I was starting to wonder if he could.  So I was very pleased to see his little face light up.  Ella who is one and a half and still trying to be weaned (ha ha) thought he was her own personal doll doll and screamed if we went to take him off her.  She has a love hate relationship with him, loves him if he is sharing one of those boobies and doesn’t if he is not.  So as you can see I don’t have the heart to cut her off just yet, soft touch.

 

On the music front my fingers are soft and voice needs fine tuning as I have not touched my guitar or sang in over a month.  The last show I did was 3 weeks before I had Aaron as support to Chris Wilson at the Tanks in Cairns.  I must say as uncomfortable as I was, due to a big belly and the heat at the time, I was just so glad to be on stage playing to a great audience and supporting such a relaxed headline act.  New Years Eve was fantastic, Natalie Bliss came on stage as a Duo with me and we played for just over an hour to around 33,000 people on the Cairns Esplanade, sound was great and we both felt so comfortable, I love singing with Natalie as our voices blend so beautifully together and I get a chance to do harmonies and hear her wonderful harmonies which is always a thrill.  As she is living in Sydney now we don’t get the chance as much anymore and that’s why I was thrilled when she said she would be around Cairns New Years Eve.  I also must mention the team from the Cairns City Council who ran the event so fantasticly.  Big thank you to Melinda Norris who is not with the Cairns Council anymore, what a shame.

I am saving towards a new album which I am really hoping to do with Nigel pegrum at Pegusus Studios in Cairns in 2009.  I have around seven new songs so far so getting there.

 

My first show back will be June 20th  at 8pm, Cairns Civic Theatre Foyer, doors open 7:30pm. I will be playing a one hour set to be followed by local performer Chris Wighton.  So you will have  a night full of fantastic music.  For more info on the night please ring the Cairns Civic Theatre on 40 31 9933 or contact someone on the Civic Theatre website on www.cct.com.au

 

I am still waiting to see if I will be playing the famous Plam Creek Folk Festival south of Townsville, will let you know on that one?  I have also put in for the Yungaburra Festival and Wallaby Creek so keep your fingers crossed for me as they are close enough to home so I can go while bubbies still little.  Clinks Theatre in Port Douglas have asked me to do a show there as well as Shrubbery Taverna in Mission Beach wanting me back asap.  Will let you know on all of the above when I know more.

 

As for life on the farm we seem to be surviving, we are picking tomatoes at the moment and just some other vege’s for ourselves and our little barrow out the front which is going great guns.  We have just planted sugarsnaps and snowpeas which are loving this cool dry spell.  In a couple of weeks we will be putting in Roma tomatoes as well.

 

On the Home front, with 3 children life is hectic.  I know my music will take the back burner for a while, but not completely, I refuse.  My soul must stay alive and for that I need to sing and perform.  I feel like all I do all day is prepare food, clean and do washing.  Somewhere in there I will soon organize a music moment for myself everyday.  Oh that’s when I get a couple of hours sleep at nite.

 

So home is hectic, the farm is crusin along and my music is hanging in there. Hopefully you will come along to a show near you and support the Carinda Christie cause oh and please say gidday.

Love to you all,

Carinda Christie.
