Hôtel de Paris, Monte Carlo

_AS04019-thumb.jpgI recently sang for several nights at the Hôtel de Paris in Monte Carlo. Hôtel de Paris is a fantastic and prestigious venue and I sang with the resident musician, Gabriel, in the American Bar. Gabriel really knows how to work the crowd who absolutely enjoyed the music.

Back from Monte Carlo and with my feet firmly on the ground I'm now sifting through literally hundreds of songs from songwriters who have sent me material for my new album.

New End Theatre 4th July

_AS04019-thumb.jpgReally pleased with the way it went on Sunday. I had a great time. The band played beautifully (thank you Tommy Emmerton for standing in at the last minute on guitar). Everyone in the audience had a fantastic time.

Since the first concert at Lauderdale House the set is now really developed. We've added some Carole King, Marcus Valle and John La Touche numbers and these really complement the set.

Pizza on the Park, 17th March 2010

Claudia MorrisAnother fantastic evening at Pizza on the Park. I had a slight cold and I was worried this would affect the performance but I shouldn't have worried. Despite being slightly croaky, my voice held out and everyone enjoyed themselves. Now for a well earned rest before my next series of concerts!

Lauderdale House

Claudia MorrisMy first concert in 18 years was fantastic. I've been completely overwhelmed by all of the positive comments I've received from people who were there, so thank you for coming!

In fact the whole thing was so exciting, with everyone asking when the next concert would be, that I immediately arranged a performance for the New Year, at the New End Theatre in Hampstead for the 28th February. I hope you can come.

It was wonderful to see so many people there including friends I hadn't seen for years.

Simon Colam played beautifully (as usual) and the whole band were fantastic. It was lovely to see you all there and looking forward to seeing you at the next one!

The album has arrived!

Claudia Morris

It's getting more exciting as each week goes by. Today my album arrived and this is the first time I've actually seen it. I'm really pleased with the finished product, and I now have 40 boxes of Love & Demons in my hallway!

Next week I'm having a rehearsal and photo shoot with the band. Amanda Searle will be doing the shoot. Amanda is a fantastic photographer and adviser, I'm looking forward to getting some photos of band up on the website soon.

I've also had a meeting with Pete Bassett from Quite Great, who will be doing my PR. Maybe you'll be seeing and hearing a lot more of me in the future!

Final mix complete

Claudia MorrisLast week we were busy at Red Gables Studio getting the final mix of Love & Demons ready, prior to getting it off to be pressed. The whole project has been hard work but hugely satisfying and we celebrated with a fantastic veggie curry when we finished.

I'm also looking forward to getting together with the whole band this Tuesday. This is the first of a series of practice sessions leading up to the performance on 27th October at Lauderdale House in Highgate.
