VERITY
"Verity's music ignites that 'umph', that 'hell ya!', that 'this is awesome!' feeling in people. Her songs have the ability to move you emotionally and mentally to all kinds of states...enthusiasm, sorrow, hope and joy."

(Jason Rakowsky, Canada)

Today it is 10 years since my father passed way. It feels surreal that so much life has been packed into those years for everyone in my family and that he hasn't been here for it...

The biggest one is to realise that you can only see a problem from where you are looking from and it is up to you to move around the issue and consider from all angles - emotions, facts, negatives, positives and interesting possibilities. Only when you start asking extraordinary questions about the problems you face will you start coming up with extraordinary solutions!

A few days ago I had quite a rant about the host of bookings that had suddenly cancelled on me and left the financial horizon of November looking alarmingly bleak...
