Hi!

Thanks to everyone who sent me birthday wishes. I had a great surprise birthday party with my extended family in London!

First of all, I really have to say a big SORRY to everyone that’s been waiting a while for a letter. Thanks for your patience. The first few months of this year have just gone so fast I can’t believe it. In February I finished Wizard of Oz in Sydney, during March I caught up with some school work, caught up with my friends, and then headed into the recording studio to record songs for my second album, to be released in Australia later this year. And no – it doesn’t have a title yet!

As you probably know from the web site I’ve been in Europe and London during April and May. I have had such a wonderful time and it was great to be able to take my music to so many different countries. I even managed to catch up with some of my fans over there.

I have lots of photos taken in Europe, so look on the web site soon and you can see my journey. I’ve just got home and seen my piles of mail and I can see that I already have some fans from overseas who’ve written to me.

If you are from Europe, or if you haven’t written to me before, then this will be the first newsletter you’ve got from me. I would like to explain that because of my busy schedule I can’t answer the hundreds of fan mail I get weekly by writing to everyone individually. That’s why I write a newsletter.

So what am I up to next? Australians know I’ll be off soon to Melbourne to play the role of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. I’m hoping to see a lot of my Victorian fans at the show. It is really great to hear that so many of you will be coming to the show, especially as some of you are traveling four to six hours to get there. I’m sure you will love the show – it really is so much fun. It’s such a shame that my new European fans won’t get to see it.

I’ll also be filming a video clip soon for the new single from the second album. I am really excited about my new album – It’s has been great fun again to choose songs, record them, and generally do all the things that go into an album.

Robert and Jenny from the web site are coming along to the filming of the video and they will take some photos to let you see what’s goes on a video shoot. If there are other things you are interested in finding out about, write to me or email me at fanmail@nikkiwebster.com.au and we’ll see what we can do.

That’s enough news from me as I really need to get this letter out. As usual, I’ll answer some of the questions I get asked the most. So here goes:-

Q.Can I see you at the show in Melbourne?
Of course you’ll see me on stage. But it’s impossible to meet all my fans individually, as I have hundreds of letters asking this.

Q. Are you still at school and do you still have school friends?
Yes, of course I still go to school. I have a great school, and I go to normal classes whenever I can. But when I’m not at school they send all my work and I have a tutor. Yes – I have some great school friends that I’ve been friends with for many years and I’ll miss them while I am in Melbourne.

Most of you know my web site, www.nikkiwebster.com.au, and I recognize I lot of your names from the e-mails I receive. Make sure you check it out to see the latest news about my trip, Wizard of Oz in Melbourne, and my music. We also put up a new jigsaw game (for download) for you to play – Thanks especially to Chano in Denmark for all the work he put into the game, and to everyone else who helped.

From Nikki,
At home (at last!) in Sydney
