Gabriella Cilmi Celebrates The Most Important Year Of Her Life
Gabriella Cilmi updated fans on her blog at MySpace (@gabriellacilmi) on Thursday (December 11), discussing the success she’s enjoyed in 2008 with her debut album ‘Lessons to Be Learned’. The Australian pop singer tells readers:
Well, well, Well! There’s really no real way to describe this year… well…ONLY that it’s been the most important year of my life since my birth!! This time last year I’m guessing that I would have been sitting at home looking after one of my thousand little cousins, chasing after them in the boiling heat… or hail since I’m from Melbourne. But right now I’m sitting in my PJ’s in an apartment in London, about to pack to catch a plane to Amsterdam and really looking forward to playing a gig in Moscow next week! Now that I get a chance to look back on this year I can really see how crazy but pretty damn amazing it’s been! My highlight has definitely been playing all the festivals, I remember going on stage at T-in the Park thinking that hardly no one would come watch my show and then the tent got so full they had to close it up! Being able to go to Glasto was sweet as too. I loved the Godiva Fest and Beautiful days as well! Going on tour around the UK and Europe was crazy! My favorite gig would have to be at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. The Paradiso was an old church and I think jail at one stage, that they turned into a venue. It was the most beautiful sounding and looking venue I think I’ve ever played. Touring around Germany in a night liner with 4 smelly boys (my band) was pretty interesting too. A bit feral but interesting enough…. SO really I just want to say A huge, big, HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that has come to my shows, bought my CD’s, sent me letters and messages…you have really made my year pretty special! So you guys have a great Christmas and New Year…stuff your faces cause that is what I’ll be doing! Catch you guys in 2009!! LOVE LOTS + LOTS GABRIELLA XXXX
