| Angie is making a name for herself
- November 2005
Angie Diggens, having finished college in the
summer where she gained her National Diploma in Music with Triple
Distinction plus 3 A levels, is busy pursuing her career in music. At Colchester's Oyster Feast recently, she was invited to sing 'Think of Me' a favourite from Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera in front of the Mayor of Colchester in the Moot Hall packed with people including many dignitaries and celebrities. Also in October, she was invited to The Dorchester Hotel in London for a fund-raising event in aid of the Helen Rollason Cancer Appeal. There she sang three songs, wearing her 'Sarah Brightman' dress that she got from being a finalist in 'Stars in Their Eyes' in March this year. Colchester
magician Michael Fitch was also there and who managed to impress Angie
with the quality of his magic tricks and illusions. She has accepted an
invitation to perform at his Show at the Mercury Theatre in January (20th
/ 21st January). Sadly
for people in Wivenhoe, Angie, having organised 10 concerts now in the
William Loveless Hall, will not be performing again here this year although she
intends to be at the Over-60s Club on the 9th December (lucky
people!). Her Variety Show at the West Cliff Theatre in Clacton in the summer was a sell out and ended with a standing ovation. Next year she is going to have 2 performances there: Saturday evening 20th May at 7.30pm and a matinee on Sunday 21st May at 3pm. And Michael Fitch will be a guest of hers at the West Cliff Theatre. For the last few years she has travelled a lot in the south east of England, playing at many Organ Music Society events particularly. Having now finished college, she is able to travel more. In November, she is flying to the Channel Islands to play for the Jersey Organ Society, and to perform also in Guernsey. Apart from Michael Fitch's January Show at the Mercury Theatre in January, and various other shows and event around the country, she is appearing in the musical My Fair Lady at the Mercury (Jan 25th - Feb 4th).
