Hola a todos!

Yes, rehearsals have started for the Melbourne Millennium Chorus and soon for the Boite Schools Chorus too! Penny and Carl have been madly arranging and arranging their madness to create a beautiful program of songs that will feature the 350 piece choir and some brilliant special guests. More details as the concerts draw closer. For anyone curious or yet wanting to be involved, go directly to www.boite.com.au or call them on (03)9417 3550

In other news, we have uploaded a new song, 'Everything of mine is just a little bit broken!' (which appears 2nd in the music page playlist - and comes complete with lyrics and a story behind it.) It's debut performance at the recent National Folk Festival in Canberra was given the best icing treatment by guest trumpeter Vincent Bradley, who really illustrated the piece in a most surprising and hysterical way. It's in sketch form here but we hope you like it :)

We are also steadily gearing up to a wonderful series of song-building workshops for adults, kids and people with special needs for the City of Casey's Winter Arts Festival 'Casey Sings'. (And with this in mind, we thought it sweet to keep the Starfish song up first). But if you want a little look into what that's about, visit: http://www.casey.vic.gov.au ..and have a look around! It's about one of the best fun things to do. Late last year a program at the Victorian Arts Centre saw our 'Build-a-song' workshop glean a couple of veritable HITS from the kids involved there. (Indeed IF you or your children were there, drop us a line, we'd love to get you a copy of the song/s!)

Meantime, we look forward to seeing you soon. Our next bit of fun will be on Sunday evening June 6 in Newstead, Central Victoria as guest facilitators at the wonderful Vocal Nosh, devised by the brilliant Fay White to bring any and all keen singers together for a joyous and accessible big group sing (and some warming of the winters with a host of hearty soups!) You will eat more than the paltry price of attendance's worth. So come sing up a storm with us...

Gracias,

Penny and Carl

Ah...autumn... it's a lovely season, isn't it?  It's more about a feeling of tending to loose endings as starting new things but as such...

Carl and I are going to re-label ourselves as simply that; OURSELVES.  PotnKettle will remain our over-arching name and the thing we use as workshop facilitators but from now on we have decided to call ourselves Penny Larkins & Carl Pannuzzo.  Ingenius isn't it?? 

Anyway, we have had some mighty big fun recently but also had a bit of healing going on and there's nothing like a teeny weeny life scare to get you re-invigorated about priorities.  

This year is all about facilitating others' discovery of their own music for us.  We are sharing the direction of the Melbourne Millenium Chorus and working with Sydney Children's Festival again.  All this plus the goal of us each releasing a solo cd by the end of the year... :) 

Check in soon for more news! :)
