Wondergirl!

I am beside myself with pride!

My beautiful, wonderful, talented and lovely daughter Katie, has won the first "Holt's Got Talent" competition!

We are so amazingly proud of her!

Singing on Stage

We live in a small village, not far from Bath in Wiltshire. It has an amazing community spirit and there is always lots going on. We have many clubs and organisations and a very thriving and brilliant Amateur Dramatic Society. They decided to hold a competition along the lines of "Britian's Got Talent" and they had the auditions last week. Katie got through, along with 14 other acts, ranging from pianists, dancers, bands through to singers, with ages ranging from 10 years old right through to OAP's.

Katie decided to sing "Colours of the Wind" from Disney's Pocahontas. She sang totally unaccompanied! She is only 13 years old, but she showed a maturity far beyond her years on the stage.

I have to say, that as her voice rang out over the audience, I got covered in goosebumps and experienced one of the happiest and proudest moments of my life.


Receiving her prize, a beautiful bowl, a certificate and £50.00 prize money.


With the Judges

Well done Katie - our own Wondergirl, because you are wonderful and I wonder how on earth I could have produced such an amazing person!

We love you so very much!

Such Happiness! lovely pictures! I bet your cheeks are hurting from smiling so much! Congratulations to you both! But Pippa, does this mean that you can't get her in the kitchen to cook dinner for you now that she's a celebrity, so you can get in the studio? ;)

Hi Nic! Thank you - yes the bowl is huge!!! Now residing in pride of place on a large shelf!!

Aww thanks so much Sharon! Who knows where it might lead!

Way to go Katie!!!
I can fully understand your feelings of motherly pride and wonder Pip...I also have an amazingly talented daughter, well actually two...but one is not following the path of singing at this stage. Sophie never ceases to amaze me with her talent...I am in awe...just as you are.
