Re-open The Wesley

15/04/2026

Thanks Alex for your support!

The Wesley Performing Arts Centre has always held a special place in my heart. It was the first venue I performed in, at the 2006 Horsham Eisteddfod, singing “Feed the Birds” and a duet with my sister “I Just Can’t Wait to be King”. I remember all the nervous minutes waiting in the dressing room and green room of the Wesley before a performance.
Our concert therefore on the 19th of April will be reflecting on the music I have sung or experienced at the Wesley over the year 🎶❤️

Get your tickets in person at the Horsham Plaza.

Here’s a lil photo of my sister and I singing “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” at the Horsham eisteddfod in 2006 🥹
