Ahhh, my very first blog... ! Well well well..what's been happening in the world of Antoinette Dunleavy, 'wedding singer', 'church singer', general 'never shuts up singing singer' lately huh? Too much to mention I'm thinkin'. Think I've had the busiest two months of my life ..so this is a sincere deep heartfelt apology to those ever patient friends of mine who I constantly promise to meet up with but consistently cancel on last minute.... Tray, Aud, Rachel, Trish etc etc (Ci...you'd get a mention but I haven't had a chance to cancel on you since you're living it up in NYC..am saving a cancelation for when you move back to London ;-)… you gals rock. And Andy..who's off gallivanting in New Zealand.. I WILL get that email I promised off to you... sometime before Christmas!! x Soooo, what's been happenin' I hear ya say? Just get on with it I hear ya say! Ok, ok. I gotta start with Upbeat Generation, a cool band I've done a couple of dep. gigs with recently. This band are funkalicious to say the least, playing everything from Prince to Sister Sledge to Blondie and Stevie Wonder to MJ. I gotta admit I cried a little tear of sadness at the return of their regular singer Amy Kelly (you gotta hear this girl sing btw, luscious vocals with soul and attitude, absolutely knocked Aretha Franklins 'Respect' outta the park..SING IT GIRL!). Colin, Damien, Stevie and Wiley - I MISS you guys! Get into The Mezz, just off Dame Street every Monday night from 11pm to get a piece of this crew… you heard it here peoples…you heard it here. (myspace) and (facebook) It was while out with Upbeat Generation in The Bloomfield Hotel that I bumped into Trish Mallin of Wedding Films Ireland, Trish was filming a wedding video for the wedding couple (obviously Ant I hear ya say!) and we got chatting about anything and everything waiting on the wedding party to arrive. Check out their website…their stuff is fantastic and looking at Trish in action I think I'll be booking that gal for my own wedding, she's a total perfectionist (can you get married these days without a man? All I really want is the dress and the adoration!)… check out www.wfi.ie for further info on this great company. Church Singing has NOT been far off my agenda.. last Friday singing at the wedding of my dear friend Lisa to Joey in St Murdachs Church in Mayo , what a stunning bride you made Lisa! Back on 11th September I was lucky enough to meet Father Peter McVerry who was officiating at the wedding of Des and Jane. Am in Motown mode this weekend performing The Story of Motown at Castle Arch Hotel in Trim on Saturday night with my gals , Sharon, Michelle and Mike (yes… I did say Mike… he's definitely one of us gals now, no escaping it) all taking centre stage along with The Jewelettes Motown Big Band.. it's gonna be a great night..tickets still available! Check out www.thejewelettes.com or www.thestoryofmotown.com for further info. Ok… gonna leave it there for the mo…but before I do…I just wanna send out a BIG sarcastic thank-you to my band mates from The PW Sessions for literally waxing my living room floor last night during the making of the video for Miss You… I kid you not…candles galore… I've spent the morning scraping candle wax off the floor.. Steve… this video BETTER be good. You have been warned! … check out The-PW-Sessions on Facebook for the video.. it'll be hitting your Facebook screen very soon! Laters my lovely peoples :)) Antoinette
