Stoke, Matlock, Barnsley, Sheffield!! END OF TOUR!


Hey Everyone!


I just finished my first ever tour!...the 3 week school tour!  It's been one of the most amazing experiences of my life!  I can't even express how much I have learned from all of you that I had the pleasure to perform for....thank you all so much for making this tour amazing!  I also have to thank my tour Managers Dave & Jo, and my mom Denise for all of their hard work!  The last 3 days were very busy and also crazy because of the snowy weather! 


On Wed, Feb 7, I performed at  Holden Lane High School and Haywood High School in Stoke-on-Trent!  The headmaster at Holden Lane, John Lamont, insisted that I try a food that originated in the area: oatcakes!  They were really good and I was really hungry at the time so that was a nice treat!  


On Thurs, Feb 8, I performed at Highfields Lower School and Highfields Upper School!  It was so much fun, and you may not have known it, but I was watching you guys throw snowballs at each other before the show!  How fun!    In between the shows, I went off to BBC Derby for a live interview with Aleena Naylor, who was so sweet to talk to! 


And on Fri, Feb 9, I performed 2 shows each at Holgate School in Barnsley and The Dronfield School in Sheffield!  I have to say, you all made it an amazing LAST DAY of the school tour!  Thanks so much for that!  What a great way to end it!  Actually, all of you at the Dronfield School were one of the LOUDEST crowds from the entire tour, so way to go!!! 


After the tour, we actually kind of got stuck in the snow for a few hours!  Windy, hilly roads that hadn't been cleared from the snow kept us stuck on the road for an extra 3 and a half hours!!! Crazy!  But the snowflakes were as big as cotton balls, so that was amazing!  I'll be getting ready to do a photo shoot next week for my album release in Japan in the next few months, and then I'll be on a promotional radio tour for the next few weeks leading up to the release of my new single Unexpectedly on Feb 26th, so mark it on your calendars! 


Don't forget, I'll be letting you all know who the winners of the private home concert will be very soon, so keep checking back!  :) Keep in touch, and I'll message you all as soon as I can!  Have fun and I can't wait to see you again!


Love,
Misha :)
