Katherine's Album Signings Blog
What have I been up to since my last blog…well firstly, as I hope you all know, my new album, ‘Believe’ came out last week. I was pretty nervous. There’s been so much interest in it and it’s the first one with my new label, Warner so thankfully it’s done really well! It went in at Number 6 in the UK album charts! Thanks so much to everyone who bought it!
On the Monday morning I performed 'Bring Me To Life' on This Morning. I love Eamonn and Ruth, they’re such a lovely couple. Eamonn is so naughty, I don’t know how Ruth puts up with him! It’s always harmless fun though.
I then dashed over to the heli pad in Battersea where I was whisked off to Wales for my album signings. I’ve been in a helicopter before, to perform for the troopes, but this was snazzy version! It usually takes about 3 hours to drive from London to Wales, but it only took an hour in the heli! It was so nice to be back in Wales and so many people turned up to the signings. It was really important to me to fit everyone in and meet everyone who came, so I hope I didn’t disappoint anyone! It’s always very humbling to go home, in fact I got quite emotional.
Tuesday was all about national radio. I did interviews for The Steve Wright Show, Classic FM, Smooth, Magic. I also did Zoe Ball’s Radio 2 Show. She’s lovely. I told her all about the infamous Jenkins' family girls night out. She said she’d love to come along to one…once she’s had the baby of course! Later that night I was back to making Lemon Drizzle cake! I promised I’d bake one for Eamonn's (Holmes) birthday. It was much lighter this time, thanks to the advice I got from Simon on Something For The Weekend. So thanks Simon!
On Wednesday I was busy with another round of signings, Birmingham and Manchester, which was great fun.
On Thursday it was another interview with Eamonn Holmes for Sky News, so I took along his birthday cake for him. I was feeling the pressure slightly as he’d been announcing to everyone that I was bringing it. He shared it with the team and everyone seemed to guzzle it down. Haha. Afterwards I filmed a pre-record on The Graham Norton Show…hilarious! I was crying with laughter. Graham had found clips of dogs singing opera on YouTube...so funny!
On Friday I filmed a Christmas special with Ruth Jones (Nessa from Gavin and Stacey). The results are pretty funny so make sure you catch it when it airs over Christmas. Afterwards I did my final album signing in Westfield Shopping Centre in London. Thanks to everyone who came. Once that had finished I headed home. I had my friend Angela coming over to stay and we went out for a wonderful dinner at Shoreditch House, overlooking the pool!
On Saturday night I performed at a very intimate, private gathering for just 18 people. Unfortunately I can’t tell you who it was for though!
Then on Sunday I finally got to chill out and get some well-deserved R&R. I went to my sisters and she cooked a wonderful roast. Bless her.
Catch you next week!
Buckets of love
