About Me


IMPORTANT NOTE:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have put in requests during my time here on MySpace.However, I think it is time I mentioned something :
I WILL NOT accept requests whereby the friends’ list pages consist of numerous photos of women in deliberate, provocative dress/poses. I have had to turn down numerous requests because of this very reason and have always sent a personal message out of courtesy to explain why. I find it a complete turn-off and often tacky-looking. It is nothing personal; I just don’t have any interest in having my photo nested in the middle of these kinds of profile photos.
Warm regards
Angie
Note:
Tracks may cut-out intermittently for a number of seconds...My guess is that it may be due to peak bandwidth usage at any given time.

Back soon!
Legality issues?
All tracks in MP3 players have been uploaded from my own personal collection of CDs after being converted to mp3 format for use on my profile.

M A L T A: May 07


My Dolphin/Malta Experience,(May 07) is now in blog.
MySpace glitch? If this slide is blank, just re-open profile page and scroll down to it first to activate the slide.
Hi...In brief, I am an actress, (Equity) and a late starter, due to circumstances and to which I shall be explaining in a future blog, along with what I call my Drama CV.
I am finally doing what I have always wanted to do.
I am not looking to have my name in lights and all that jazz.
I am happy to have a little niche, whereby I can just learn my lines, rehearse and perform and continue to learn about this art along the way.
My ethnic background…umm, bit of a mixing pot…I was born in Kensington, London…I also have a blood mixture of Irish, (Mom) and Caribbean, (Dad) and French ancestry, (Dad’s side). My... (Don’t know how many greats’ I am suppose to type here), but great, great, great grandfather is suppose to be Daniel Defoe, (Robinson Crusoe novelist). Funny, my father is of the same name, he often told me with a smile, that this might be where I get my writing abilities. I haven’t written anything in a long time, though. Enough for now.
Hi all….as some of you already know, August and early September was a very busy period with rehearsals and performances for the 'ANNA LIVIA DUBLIN INTERNATIONAL OPERA FESTIVAL 2007' for both: ‘LUCIA’ and ‘The Pearl Fishers', in Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre.
I am delighted to have been a part of this wonderful experience, (my first time performing in an opera/s) and will always treasure the memory of it all.
My favourite opera out of the two; both great, but has to be The Pearl Fishers for the overall colour, setting and liveliness, but most of all, for the wonderful music...I am totally in love with that opera!!
As mentioned, I would like to share this experience by adding a photo slide , a small write-up and various scores from both operas.
However, due to the fact that I am still waiting on a number of press shots that were used for promotional purposes, I have delayed this little project.
I feel the photos in question really tell the stories of both operas in vivid colour, (more so than my few personal photos.
However, I have no control over the length of time I have to wait, but hopefully, they will be available in early oart of 08.
Meanwhile, hope you enjoy the preview slide.

I Love this video so much, I had to enlarge it!!Dolphins... Ambassadors of the sea AND the best surfers, by the way.

And…though I may ruffle a few feathers…I have always admired the artistic talents of Michael Jackson…As for anything else regarding him…No comment!!
I may not have liked every single song he sang, when he danced, he had the kind of flexibility and rhythm, that, simply put, made it look extra-ordinary. I have been to all of his three concerts here in Ireland and he was truly a great show-man.
A lot of cool guitar going on in the following tracks.

Movies:



Various, but sure do love some of those older films, Fred&Ginger, Gene Kelly, etc, strutting their stuff... Great to watch a Broadway musical on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

From a young age, I was the only one out of all the siblings in the family who would sit and enjoy watching them and I knew I wanted to be on the stage, but family circumstances could not allow for it, hence my late start in life :)

Don't watch lots of TV, but when I do, I prefer Discovery Science/National Geographic and similar. And, a good film; like Shawshank Redemption.
