Been working really hard on this new video (AGAIN) over the past two weeks! 18 months after first filming for it, I finally managed to upload the first part and share this info with fellow Buskers. ☺️ Hope you can give it a watch! I don't know that I've ever put in as much work for a video, as I have done for this one, and it will be such a shame if it flops! Now to get started on Part 2! 🫣

Ever wanted to see my entire setup process from start to finish? I was lucky enough to have my friend Pete Johns Music from Studio Live Today come into the city yesterday afternoon and join me for my busking spots. With set 1 done, we moved onto performance location 2 where Pete live streamed me while I pulled together my busking setup and asked me questions as I went along. He then stuck around for my first couple of songs from set 2. Check out the live stream here.

I was lucky enough to have my friend Pete Johns Music come into the city yesterday afternoon and join me for my busking spots. Not only did he help me down from the car park when I realised I'd left my luggage strap at home, but he also filmed some live streams featuring me and my performance. This is from set 1.
I'll be joining the awesome Pete Johns on his Creator Town Hall stream tonight. Looking forward to a chat about all things music. Come join us!

So my days off this week didn't quite go to plan... On Monday night I got really sick and ended up in Modbury Hospital emergency for 7 hours, with food poisoning or gastro, being taken care of by the lovely nurses and doctor and replenishing some much needed fluids by IV. They brought down my fever and saw that my heart rate and blood pressure returned to normal. Honestly can't say enough about all the wonderful people who took care of me when I was at my worst! I am forever grateful. I'm back home again, but it's really done a number on me and I'm still recovering. I'm feeling a lot weaker than normal, have a lot of muscle pain and my appetite hasn't fully returned yet. I'm on a strict plain food only diet for the time being and just taking it easy! So apologies that it may be a little longer between videos at the moment. Hoping I'll be ready to get back out busking on the weekend, but will have to wait and see. I won't push myself if I'm not feeling up to it, but I feel a little better today than I did yesterday and hopefully the trend continues!
Had a great time recording with Moffatt Nation for The Sound of... podcast yesterday. A show that delves into each guests musical tastes and what they relate to when they think of the sound of different emotions/activities etc.
This podcast will be different to anything I've done before and I hope you'll enjoy having a listen. It will likely be a few weeks till my episode is released, but you can currently listen to the first two episodes with Claire Phillips and Ciarán Moffatt which are up on the Podcast's spotify. open.spotify.com/show/2skyljjupy72DWGeHadL1l?si=cf…. Both are great and interesting episodes and I implore you to give them a listen.
Looking forward to sharing this with you all soon! I'll let you know when it's out!

Only a couple more hours to go! Have you got your ticket? I was working on show prep for 5 hours yesterday, not to mention the time spent on it during the days beforehand! I am so looking forward to sharing all these special moments with you in this once off live stream! Still time to get your ticket and join the show. Going live at 2PM ACDT (10:30PM EST). Tickets are only $7AUD. Hope to see you there! www.eventbrite.com.au/e/samantha-edge-moments-albu…
Doing something special in a couple of weeks! Man 5 years has gone by in a flash! I've been meaning to do this stream for a while now, but the timing just didn't seem right. Then the anniversary of the album launch came and went in January and I came across the footage from the 'Moments' launch night which helped fuel my want to revisit the album in it's entirety.
So in less than two weeks time, on Sunday the 14th, 2-4pm, I'll be putting on a live show performing all the tracks from moments, talking about the process of the album coming to be, the meanings behind the songs themselves and showing some never before seen clips from the 2016 launch night. Tickets are $7 and I'd absolutely love if you could join me for this dedicated 'Moments' live stream from the comfort of your own home! For more info and to buy tickets, click the link below. 😊
