Here I am again writing a fresh new blog from Austria…
Well, here I am again writing a fresh new blog on a beautiful evening in Amstetten, Austria, a rather famous town due to a certain man named Fritzl!! But crazy psychopaths aside….life here is good! Though my stay here was unexpected to say the least!
So the few months go something like this!…
”Boyband the Musical”, is currently on holiday for the summer, as are all productions in Slovakia. However, life has a funny way of always coming up with some surprises…and just as I was ready to face a summer off the stage…a miracle happened and I got a part in the German production of ”The Full Monty”, a musical about a group of desperate unemployed guys who resort to stripping to earn some cash!
I play a professional stripper …yes, you heard it right … I am playing a stripper! After I had put aside a few personal inihibitions (!!), I am now having a blast with the role and appreciating being able to perform and do what I love all summer, in a beautiful town here in Austria. As an added bonus I also get to play alongside my fiance Abbie, who also has a great part in the show as Estelle!
I have also been so lucky do do some fantastic and heartwarming concerts around Slovakia. A particularly special experience was singing in the Children’s Hospital in Bratislava. It was a very inspiring and moving to see such sick children with such big smiles on their faces. I felt very lucky to bring some sunshine into their difficult lives and wish all the children i met good health and happiness for their futures.
My Fiance and I also moved flat…YES AGAIN!! But this one is a little bit special and am so thankful to the people who helped me to live in such a fantastic part of Bratislava!
I also, on another note, got invited by Jean Paul Gaultier to be in his fashionshow in Milan Italy. This was which an experience all in itself… check out the pics!!
My Brother got married this month in Indonesia … CONGRATS!!
Unfortunately I couldn’t be there as we had the premiere of ”The Full Monty”, but we will no doubt be celebrating with him soon!!
So despite all the busy goings on I managed to squeeze in a chance to see one of my idols in concert in Vienna…Paolo Nutini in Vienna. Big Thumbs up for New Shoes and loved the Wien Arena…hope to play there one day in the future!
When not doing shows there’s lots of song-writing going on too! What with the sunny days and beautiful evenings am finding a lot of inspiration in life!
The new songs are really cool and different … loving it
So on the starry side of life..went to my first celeb premiere of ”Knight and Day”, in Bratislava … Am now determined to become the next Tom Cruise of Slovakia! And sure my fiance will make a great Cameron Diaz!
As for the future well…many exciting things to come!
A concert at the Slovakian TV Station Markiza Open Day, where I’ll be playing my new single …
A Boyband Tour through Slovakia in September.
Great news, after we finish ”The Full Monty” in Austria, my fiance will also be joining me in the cast of ”Boyband the Musical”, as a dancer!
We also do another run of ”’The Full Monty”, and will be playing for 2 weeks in Munich, Germany in October
Most importantly for me…my single is finished!! Hooray!! So watch out world…here I come! Official release will follow ….
love and light to you all
your Thomas
