There were over 21,000 entries and only 11% were chosen. Looking forward to getting out and playing live in the near future x</p>Amanda Thomastag:amandathomasmusic.com,2005:Post/66077922021-04-19T12:53:19+10:002023-09-05T10:52:03+10:00First Blog<p>Well Hello and welcome to my first Blog! I am currently navigating the setting up of my new website and it would be an understatement to say I am not very tech-savy. I used to be pretty good at this stuff, but have not kept up with the fast-paced changes that have happened in the last decade or so.... having kids will do that to some people.</p><p>So this is really just a post to say I am still working hard to get my second album out there. It is currently being mixed by David Longo, who recorded the album with me. It has taken a little longer than expected, but I have learned to relax about timing after breaking 5 ribs in January. Yep, it'll slow a person down. The songs are sounding amazing - even if I might say so myself. There are few things more thrilling than bringing songs to life and I am as eager as ever to put them out into the world.</p><p>So thank you to everyone who has waited and I look forward to chatting again soon x</p>Amanda Thomas
