Woke up today and thought "Why not tour Australia?".
So I am.

One more day in beautiful Park City Utah.

Friday is my final Music Cafe performance and then I'm off to spend one perfect day in San Francisco before heading back to London and tour preparations.

Went with friends up to the top of a mountain today (yeah I went skiing a couple times!) and underestimated the affect fear factor would have on my beginner friend. Let's just say one lesson wasn't enough for her and she ended up getting a lift down on a snowmobile!!

If I'm honest, I did fear for my arms and legs a few times myself. Glad to be back here in my hotel room and looking forward to singing one final time before we leave.

That's it. Off to have a hot tub. Ooh it's tough at Sundance.

Performed at the Sundance Music Festival in Salt Lake City today.
Loved the gig.. but to be honest, have been having so much fun in this incredibly beautiful little village forgot I was 'working'. Main Street in Park City is where all the buzz happens.. and the vibe here is just magical. All the house look like something from a story book.. with their roofs etched in snow and fairy lights everywhere.

I'm keen to Ski... but with a tour coming up - probably should avoid the risk of breaking something!

Saw a great film today.
Go to www.wristcutters.com to check it out.
I gave it 5 out of 5.

Oh. Sang my heart out too. Unlovable went down the best.

One more performance on Friday.
Shame I missed Imogen Heap but but excited to see some of the other artists
on the roster as well..

Until then..
love as always

Had my first production meeting today for my 2006 tour.
Sat with Willie Williams in his Covent Garden house for three hours and came up with the coolest show opener EVER.

Last year we had our initial meetings and discussions to decide the tour name, the basic concept for the show,and our general objectives.

But today we got into the deeper things. We worked on the finer details - like a first draft of the set list and started to solidify some of the stage design.

It was great to walk out of there as the rain started coming down and be the only person in the street smiling.

I'm more excited about this tour than any other I think.

More when I have it!

Love, as always
D
