My oldest niece (she's 20) is leaving for South Africa next week for a trainee-ship. She's in her last year at a training college for primary schoolteachers, and she choose to do her final long trainee-ship at a school for poor children, because she's awesome like that. Last week her friends threw her a surprise 'goodbye and good luck' party. She sings in a band, and they'd set up a small stage with all the band members there, so here she's singing for a tiny audience.

It's a cover ('The Dark' from the Dutch singer Anouk).

She's good. This is really enjoyable. I can't get it to play smoothly, though. Drat. Is there any chance of getting an mp3 of it? I want to listen to it on repeat. ;-)

She sounds like a very cool person.

Hee, no I haven't got an mp3, wouldn't know how to convert one from a .mov file and my niece is now busy I guess, because she's leaving on Monday so I can't ask her.

She's absolutely a cool person. And warm too ;)

I also love that she's easily the tallest person in their band too, and not because the guys are short ;)

Your niece has a good, powerful voice. I hope she has an enjoyable and rewarding time in South Africa.

:D

I approve of her taste in music too. We're all a big anxious about her going there, but we had time to get used to the idea, and I bet it will be a great experience for her.

You have every right to be proud of her. What an extraordinary young lady she is.

She is! And I know it's a cliche, but man, they grow up so fast...

Oh she's fab! And great thing she's going to South Africa. It's a beautiful country but not an easy one...

She did pick the right time to go there; she'll be missing a couple of months of cold over here!
