Superb singer-songwriter Felicity Urquhart has released her debut DVD THE VIDEO COLLECTION, revisiting the finest video clips from Felicity’s career so far. From the early days of Sugar Town and Country Girl, right through to her Golden Guitar award winning video Big Black Cloud – it is a complete collection, including footage and material from the filming of her current clip No Mistakes.
Taking home the 2007 CMAA Australian CM Awards Video Clip of the Year with her single Big Black Cloud, directed by Glenn Wilson, from the album produced by Glen Hannah. Felicity co-wrote the song with American hitmaker and Grammy award winning producer, Randy Scruggs.
Felicity was also nominated at the Golden Guitar Awards with berths for Album of the Year for MY LIFE and Female Artist of the Year for her hit single, Big Black Cloud.
The winning streak continued with Felicity being named 2007 CMAA Indie Entertainer Of The Year and Australian CM People̢۪s Choice Awards Female Vocalist of the Year. Both announcements completed an amazing twelve months for Felicity.
2006 was certainly a landmark in Felicity̢۪s career, consolidating her name as one of the finest and most hard-working artists in the industry. To date she has picked up accolades and awards for Best Country Artist at the 2006 Musicoz Awards; Independent Entertainer of the Year at the CMAA Achiever Awards; Female Vocalist, Album, and Single of the Year at the Australian Independent CM Awards and the Australian Songwriters̢۪ Association named her Country Songwriter of the Year.
While 2006 was a stellar year in Felicity’s career, 2007 started with the top accolade of taking home a Golden Guitar – a wonderful achievement for this fabulous entertainer.
Big Black Cloud, co-written with Grammy award winning producer, Randy Scruggs, became her first 1 hit from the album MY LIFE, with singles The Flood and My Life also becoming top five hits.
Felicity sings beautifully with such raw emotion and sincerity, and with her current album MY LIFE, has emerged as one of Australian music’s most sophisticated artists – it’s a touch of roots and a whole lot of class.
Her musical roots are as true as they come – growing up influenced by country music icons in her hometown of Tamworth – where she set her sights firmly on making music.
2007-08 saw performances for the troops in the Solomon Islands, a two month tour of WA with James Blundell, Anne Kirkpatrick and Carter & Carter, visits to the US, presenting work on Channel 7̢۪s Sydney Weekender, and part-time role as fill-in announcer for John Nutting on ABC̢۪s Saturday Night Country. Even President George W. Bush likes No Mistakes, with Felicity having had the opportunity of performing for him during his 2007 visit to Sydney, and the single claiming a Top 10 on the TMN Country Hot 30 chart.
Felicity’s wide-ranging appeal, helped score her the coveted gig as TV presenter on Channel Seven’s travel program, Sydney Weekender – which serves to keep her schedule busy.
Felicity has been inspired by her travels and has been busy songwriting and working on her new album. Heading into the studio mid 2008 with US-producer Brad Jones (Bob Evans), she is excited about this new chapter of her career.
