Limited Edition "On The Road" Album

After four sell out gigs at Live At Zedel last week, Rachel & @Kris Rawlinson announced on the Parallel Productions Facebook Live earlier today that they are currently in the studio with @VoiceBoxProductions to record a 'LIMITED EDITION' "On The Road" album. This album is currently available for Pre-order on the Parallel Productions website & there will only be 250 copies online to order, which will come signed & numbered.

Any one who misses out online can buy a physical copy at their nearest tour venue. We must stress this is a limited release, so once all copies of the album are gone on tour, that's it, you will have missed out! So don't delay, pre-order now or bring that extra cash along to the tour.

You can watch the announcement from Facebook Live below.

I haven't had a chance yet to collect my thoughts about the Gigs, but you can expect that hopefully some time this week, just wanted to get this news out to you guys as soon as possible. Also will be sharing all the fabulous reviews from the gigs, in a post very shortly.

Also while we're talking about adding shows to Rachel's solo tour.

Yesterday we were treated to the "Knowing Me, Knowing You" round of questions with Rachel.

 Then today we got the full length interview with snippets of Rachel rehearsing 'I'll Cover You.'

Stay posted to @Westend Wilma on Twitter, the official website & subscribe to the Youtube Channel as there is supposed to be 4 videos from their day together in rehearsals. So we've only seen half for now. Can't wait to see what else we've got to come.

Solo Tour around the UK

'Audiences can expect an intimate gig with a mix of some classic jazz, soul, and musical theatre favourites plus a few surprises along the way.' 

During the chat Rachel talks again about having guests at some of, if not all of her gigs, but looks like we still have to wait and see who they'll be. The comments section shows how keen the fans are for a reunion with Louise Dearman, so let's keep our fingers crossed they can get her on board for at least one, as that'd be one heck of a reunion. So as of now no guests confirmed, but who else would you like to see? Tweet us your suggestions, we're interested to know.

Speaking of suggestions, what songs are you dying to hear Rachel sing? Tweet us those too.
