FUNDRAISING FOR OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR IMPOSSIBLE

Last Sunday I started a new campaign to raise money for an official music video for Impossible. It's off to a flying start and I'd like to thank everyone who has jumped on board to help out!!!

You can take a look at some of the great incentives here and read up a bit more but I'll tell you a little bit here anyways.

As you know already I'm the opening act for Elton John for his only New Zealand concert this November. This is the perfect time for me to release my next single as there will be a crowd of around 35,000 new listeners. It is vital to have a music video when releasing a single - people not only want to hear a song they want to see what it's about.

I've spoken with Logan McMillan of Gorilla Pictures, Christchurch and he is keen to work with me on the video. He's done some amazing videos for artists such as Anna Coddington & Mel Parsons and I'm really looking forward to working with him.

The only thing is - November isn't far away at all so I need to raise the money as soon as possible so I can get to Christchurch and get this baby underway!!!

Times are tough and I completely understand if you cannot contribute. Every little bit counts and sharing the link with friends and family that might like a copy of the album would be great!!! Please check out the perks and see if you can be persuaded.

Cheers
Katie xx

West Coast Leg of Mel Parsons Tour

I was very honoured to be the opening act for Mel Parsons & the Rhythm Kings when they were here on the Coast. The first night was in Greymouth at Franks Cafe. There was a great turn out and I managed to get some great footage and photos. The next night was at the NBS Theatre in Westport - it's an amazing building they have there. A great turn out for Mel in her hometown too! After the concert we headed back to the Star Tavern, Cape Foulwind. for an extremely entertaining night hosted by Mel's dad Derek.

If you haven't heard of Mel's music before please head to her website www.melparsons.com you won't be dissapointed!

Cheers

A Hokitika singer-songwriter will open Sir Elton John's concert at Forsyth Barr Stadium in November. Katie Thompson was selected to open the concert after a nationwide "Open 4 Elton" promotion, which attracted 50 entries and drew more than 70,000 online votes.

She will receive air fares, accommodation and $5000 for her 30-minute cameo in front of a 30,000 crowd in the stadium.

Promoter Capital C: Concerts managing director Phil Sprey said he was impressed by the standard of the entries. Thompson had an "impressive" pedigree, he said, having recorded two albums and being nominated for the Horizon Award at the National Country Music awards in Hamilton this year.
