We enjoyed our concert at Monash civic centre - packed house! Sorry to those people that didn't make it
in because it was so full, hope to see you at our next gig. Special thanks to Suzanne Simpson who did a wonderful job
on violin and vocals.
IT'S A GIRL!!
Hope gave birth to a gorgeous little girl - April Angeline Rose - on 28th April. All well with mum and bub,
photos coming!! You can leave Hope a message in our Guestbook which can be accessed on our home page.
WOW. What an experience we've had. At the world premiere of Rolf de Heer's new film "Dr. Plonk"
we played the soundtrack live to the film on the closing night of the Adelaide film festival. We'll post some
photos soon of the big night, it was a lot of hard work but also very exciting!!! Next on the agenda for the sisters
is our new CD, we will be working hard on that over the next few months.
Hi everyone we're back from
holidays and what a mad couple of weeks we've had already. We've been working very hard.... recording a new
film score!!!! We'll be playing at the world premiere of the film in Adelaide on the 4th March, more on that later!
Hope will be officially on maternity leave after the film premiere so we'll be having some exciting new violinists
play with the sisters over the next few months - including the beautiful Andrea Keeble, the fantastic Hungarian violinist
Atilla and SUEperstar Sue Simpson!!! Check out the gig guide for details.
Wow, another
year has gone already but what wonderful adventures we've had! We've enjoyed many memorable gigs over the last
year. Thank you to each and every one of you who came to see us perform, we hope you enjoyed our shows as much as we
enjoyed playing for you!! Lots of exciting stuff happening next year, a filmscore, new CD and new baby!!
(Yes, Hope is expecting her second child due in April!!) We are having a little holiday over Jan so we'll keep you
posted on what we'll be up to later on (keep checking the site!!) We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season,
take care and hope to see you all soon. XXX
Our gigs over the past
few weeks have been lovely, we helped raise $16,000 at the Benefit for St Vincent's at the Spiegeltent, and our
gig at Yarra Blue restaurant was lots of fun. It's our last BVT gig for the year this Wednesday, hope to see everyone
there!!!
It was lovely to see so many
familiar faces in the audience at the Spiegeltent on Sunday - it was like playing to a group of old friends!!! We made
some new friends too, hope to see you all soon.
Another
sell out concert!! Thank you to Kingston Arts Centre for having us, we had a great night with the lively audience -
although the gig was not without its crackles!!?
On the road again...
to Port Fairy this time! Our second appearance at this most beautiful of festivals - "The Port Fairy Spring Music
Festival" was again sold out and was even better than last year's!! The next time you can catch us will be on
the radio - also coming up is our long-awaited return to the Spiegeltent! Check the gig guide for details.
We've
already played couple of very nice concerts since being back in Melbourne - one at St Michael's in the city which was a beautiful
and quiet acoustic space and one at the Northcote Town Hall which was not so quiet!!
WE'RE HOME!! We enjoyed
our last three gigs of the tour.... we remember fondly the jubes from the lolly shop in Marysville, the yummy cakes in Ruffy
and the wood fired pizza in Wodonga!!! We'd like to say a HUGE "THANK YOU" to Mary for organising the
tour - we are exhausted but we loved it!!
Just got back from our second
part of the tour - Upwey, Orbost, Swifts Creek and Horsham.... we are having an absolute ball - stayed at some really gorgeous
places and have met lots of lovely people. New photos from our tour will be on the site soon!!
Our first leg of the tour
is over - Yarram, Mirboo Nth and Tyers.... we enjoyed seeing the beautiful countryside - and had a few funny gig
moments too, like not being able to find how to get on to the stage in Yarram, and Judy announcing that father's day was in
October at our concert in Mirboo Nth (her dad just happened to be at that concert too!!!). We're very much
looking forward to seeing what'll happen this weekend!
Our Albert Park Yacht club
gig last night was full of laughter, fun and some very special moments... we even got a standing ovation at the end!!!
Some highlights of the night were Jo's Fox and the Bear and La Vie en Rose as the encore... it was just a beautiful
way to finish the night.
Thanks to everyone's
contributions to our "Your Photos" page - it's looking great! Check it out here. Send photos to: photos@stilettosisters.com
We had a great time at the
SOLD OUT Surrey Music Concert!!! Special thanks to Jeffrey and the team for all your hard work in organising these events and
also for bringing the vodka!! (nice hat) ;)
Lots of kids dancing at our
fourth annual concert at the beautiful great hall at Goona Warra winery - how cute!! We also got a chance to premiere
some new works at this concert which was very exciting for us. Thanks to John and Elizabeth for inviting us back again,
for the wonderful food and of course for the fabulous wine!!
We'd like to thank the Melbourne
Chorus of Sweet Adelines for having us at the Robert Blackwood Hall on Saturday, we had a ball. Anytime you want us
back - whether it be in Chicago, Las Vegas - whereever - we'll be there! ;)
We think
everyone would agree that the Eltham World Harmonies concert last Fri night was very special indeed. It was completely
packed at St Margaret's hall with 150 marvellous people (and a dog!) - it was a record attendance for the series
so thank you!!!
Wow, what a mad couple of
weeks with two concerts and two radio shows but we've had some memorable performances. Thank you to all who came to
our "Arden Crescent" concert - it was great playing for you and having a nice chat and cup of tea with you all afterwards!!
Stiletto Sisters have been
busy here and there, we had a lot of fun on the live to air radio show on 774 with Derek Guille on Monday night. We
also had a lovely time again at the Boite World Music Cafe last Saturday, very nice to make some new friends. We will
be "appearing" on the radio again this weekend - so listen out for us Sat 27th May 6pm on 3MBS 103.5FM!
Thanks
to all those who came to see us play at the Surrey Hills Festival last Saturday, it was a little cold but we had fun
anyway! We even managed to pick up a few new aprons! So you might see us showing them off at our next few gigs....
Our trip to Mildura went off
without a hitch... NOT!!! Apart from not knowing whether we were actually able to fit the double bass on the
tiny plane to running late for the plane to Jo's bag going missing therefore starting the concert late - everything went
smoothly!! We actually really enjoyed the concert in the end, playing to the packed crowd in the nice upstairs section
of the brewery. Thanks for having us, Mildura, we'd love to come back again!!
All new "YOUR PHOTOS" page is now online (check it out!)... we'd love to see some more sent in to photos@stilettosisters.com .... c'mon - show us your stuff!!
The sisters are well and truly
back into the swing of things now. We've already played some very nice gigs so far this year, (esp. the one at Hamer
Hall!) and it's business as usual at BVT every Wednesday night. Got some exciting concerts lined up for the rest
of the year, so stay tuned for info on those!
HAPPY
NEW YEAR!!!!! We're looking forward to another big year of music, laughs and good times!! Thank you to you all
for coming to see us play in the past year, we really appreciate your support and have enjoyed playing for you so much!!!
Wishing everybody a safe and happy holiday season from the Stiletto Sisters - Hope, Judy and Jo.
Our "Silly Season" concert
at the Czech Club was such a great way to finish the year off!!!! There were candles and crackers, dancing competitions
and our best audience participation ever - the entire room enthusiastically clinking their glasses with spoons throughout
the last song!!! We really enjoyed that moment, it made the concert very special for us.
SOLD OUT
concert last Friday at the Surrey Hills Music Cafe!!! We loved the new venue and thoroughly enjoyed playing for the
big yet intimate audience. Thank you for coming and being such a friendly audience!!
Our second gig at the Wyreena Community Arts
Centre was just so nice! With the conservatory filled to capacity it was very cosy indeed - and good to see many
of you return from last year's concert too!!
It was very nice to
play in Castlemaine again, without the hard hats this time, we might add!!! We are a bit exhausted from
all the travelling we've done lately... but we've had a lot of fun doing it and playing to you all!!
We had a wonderful time at
the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival, enjoyed the marvellous weather and the beach and even got to see a show before
we left. Oh yeah and we did a (sold out) concert too!!! That, of course was the best part!! Hopefully
we will have some photos soon.... :)
Just got
back from Lakes Entrance where we did a lovely little concert in the very cute "Bungalook" studio on Josie
and Rick's alpaca farm.... we had a great time being in the country, with fabulous country style hospitality (thanks guys!)
and let's not forget those scrumptious home made cakes!!!!!
