The year 2012 will go down as a very special year for Britain. The hosting of such amazing events like ‘The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee’, ‘The Olympic Games’ and ‘Paralympics’ have had the ‘Home Nations’ buzzing this summer. The poor weather was not a deterrent as each village, town and city celebrated in true British style.
Having spent her early music career on the beautiful but tiny Maltese Islands, singer/songwriter Sophie travelled to the UK to be part of this special year! Last June she started a nationwide UK promotional tour taking her to 22 locations. Arriving to a much larger and altogether wetter country she never the less felt very lucky to experience such a positive time in the UK. The tour is now in its final stages with the Finale being at Manchester Pride on Bank Holiday Monday 27th August. The 18 year old talent was delighted to discover a very warm welcome at each event she appeared. Making new friends + the smiles, hugs, love and support were the order of the day!
The warm welcome continued when several British media caught up with Sophie during the tour with support from TV, Radio and Published/Online Press.
People from all walks life welcomed her into their heart and Sophie was soon being described as ‘The Maltese Pop Princess’.
After meeting and chatting to X factor star ‘Marcus Collins’ at Liverpool Pride recently, Sophie was asked how she felt after such an amazing summer: “I feel such a lucky girl to have received all this love and support from fellow Artists, Press, Radio, TV and the lovely people here in Britain. I keep thinking that this all a dream and will be waking up any moment, but then when I realise it’s all real, I feel like a Gold medallist, totally ecstatic!! With this tour nearing its final stages, I don’t see it as an end, but as the beginning to what I hope will be a long lasting career in music!! Thank-you so much Britain, I love you !!”
Sophie’s new single ‘Sunny’, her own version of the Bobby Hebb classic will be released and available for download on the ‘Thru The Mill’ Record Label via ‘Absolute/Universal Music’ soon.
