Alex Roots Gears Up For School Tour

Posted on May 5, 2009 by popdirt

checked in with fans on her official web site on Tuesday (May 5), talking about a visit to the nutritionist and performing at schools. The British pop singer writes:

Looking forward to going on a tour of schools in a couple of weeks. I went to Swindon last week to do a couple of schools. I was dead nervous because being a moody teenager myself I know how a girl in front of you singing on a day at school is not the most attractive prospect. So thank you lovely people of Swindon for not biting my head off! And for really accepting and supporting me, it was great to meet you guys and hang out!

Alex Roots Blogs About Opening For McFly

Posted on April 24, 2009 by popdirt

updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (April 23), talking about her experience opening for in Wolverhampton on Tuesday night. The 16-year-old pop singer writes:

So after my radio interview me and the gang (Gary, Dad, Justine) (<— VERY GLAMOROUS ENTOURAGE!) went and had some lunch and then made our way to Wolverhampton Civic Hall! It was crazy, there were some die hard fans who had been camping all night so that they could get a spot right at the front! I got my little McFly badge (which I am keeping forever by the way) and went into the venue where McFly were sound checking! I NEARLY CRIED, IT WAS LIKE A PRIVATE SHOW!!!! I got so over excited by the fact that McFly were so close performing to me... (WELL PROB NOT TO ME, PROBABLY TO THE VERY IMPORTANT MEMBERS OF THEIR TEAM WHO DEAL WITH THE SOUND... BUT I AM GOING TO CHOOSE TO IGNORE THAT!) that I took a photo and nearly got removed from the Hall.. Oh dear, not a good start for the Roots team I admit, but what can a gal do hey?

So I went to my dressing room … I had to walk past McFly’s dressing room to get to mine! Did my sound Check and Danny watched the whole time (NO PRESSURE) Got changed and before I did my slot I went and met the band in their dressing room… They were such nice Guys and wished me the best of luck and said that they would try and watch from the side :)

Posted on March 23, 2009 by popdirt

checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Sunday (March 22), talking about gigs and interviews. The ‘Fake’ singer writes:

My gig on Thursday went really well @ the Notting Hill Arts Club! My microphone didn’t disconnect half way through a song like last time I performed there, so you could say it was a good night!

I had an interview for The Guardian and also Attitude Mag on Friday which was pretty cool! They shall both be out around the same time as my limited single ‘Fake’ in April so look out! Was sooo embarrassing because for the Guardian I had to have my photo taken, in the middle of Camden! Everyone was staring at me as they were walking past me getting photographed with my vanilla and Nutella milkshakeeee! TOO good for words I tell you.
