“Prita is without doubt one of the finest female singer/songwriters anywhere out there. I first got into her music through a colleague at Radio Caroline in 2011 and I’ve been playing her on my show every week since then. Every single track on her album is a gem and she’s just as good live. Make 2012 the year it happens for this amazing lady. She’s going to be huge.”

After the tour finished in the UK I decided it was time to hit the road travelling in a different kind of way! visiting old friends and family and having some adventures!!
I started with a week in the romantic city of Paris, catching up with my old friend Kymy and exploring the streets, fromageries, patisseries and cafes.. taking in all the sounds, smells and sights and soaking it all up!! I really enjoyed my stay and went to a couple of open mic nights to check out the local talent – amazing! I met heaps of lovely people! so friendly!! and got to practice my few words of french, much to my delight and theirs! We went to a great ‘spoken word’ open mic night which mainly features poetry at Au Chat Noir, I was blown away by the talent! seriously.. amazing.. and inspiring!
Next on the trip was a stop in London catching up with old mates from highschool! and a couple of days in lovely stoke newington aswell as a great xmas end of year gig at McQueen’s in Shoreditch! and I met Maxi Priest! DJ Clare, Sonarelle and some very funky players.. and caught up with more friends!!
Then a quick 3 hour train ride to Plymouth and I got to meet up with my brother and sister in law and all their crew!! followed by xmas in the beautiful old city of Bath with a traditional Aussie cold salads and prawns lunch!! lots of good times.. and lots of chocolate…!!!
After an impromtude ‘house concert’ in Plymouth with the crew I was invited on a road trip to Ireland! so off we went a few days later and had an amazing trip around Southern Ireland, visiting Cork, Kinsale, Kenmare and more.. gorgeous little towns.. eating and drinking our way around the greenery of Ireland.. New Years Eve was a blast and NYE eve eve was an even bigger blast!!
and so the adventure continues..

HOw was your New Years’ Celebration?
I was in a town I’d never been to, in a country I’d never before visited with a bunch of lovely new friends I’d just made!!! Talk about ‘New’ year! We were in Ireland, and after visiting the Jameson’s Distillery the day before and having a randomly huge night in Cork visiting all the bars and clubs we might like to go to on NYE.. we made it as far as the local pub.. and I was on Lemonade all night… having helped drink Ireland out of whiskey the night before.. I was designated key holder!!
I love this time of year for reflecting and starting fresh! and with new inspiration from the Jameson Motto – this year’s theme is ‘Sine Metu’ or – ‘without fear’
I have to remind myself sometimes that I am living the dream! my dream of living in Europe, travelling and playing my music everywhere I go!! and that it is amazing to be here.. sometimes when you travel you get a bit lonely or feel isolated, overwhelmed by the huge choices in front of you and all around you.. but I have made some great new friends over the last few weeks and re-connected with some gorgeous old friends and family.. travelled to some lovely and inspiring places – Paris! Je taime’ , Ireland – what’s the craic?!, and all around the UK – London, Plymouth, Bath.. ‘allright?’ (yeah I’m allright how about you? – oh you’re just saying hello.. right.. ok.. )
I’ve been doing lots of sitting and writing in cafes.. one of my favourite things! .. and have written a few new songs lately.. travelling around and experiencing new places.. visiting new and old friends.. which I love!!
There are lots of gigs in pipeline in different countries..UK, Germany, Faroe’s, Dubai, Spain.. and I’m looking forward to a great 2012!! and wishing you the best year yet!! with lots of love, happiness and success coming your way!!

Check out this great review by Will Fitzgibbon @ the Australian Times UK!
http://www.australiantimes.co.uk/entertainment/a-new-uk-chapter-in-prita’s-musical-career.htm
Prita @ McQueen, 23 November
Review and interview by Will Fitzgibbon
AUSTRALIAN singer-songwriter Prita Grealy began her 2011 UK Tour in London on 23 November playing at McQueen, Shoreditch, before an appreciative audience.The Fremantle musician, who describes her brand of music as “Hop-So-Fo” or a mix of hip-hop, soul and folk, has recently moved to London after having spent the past four years conquering the Antipodes.
With a voice that audiences have compared to that of Tracy Chapman and after having already widely toured across Europe, Prita’s music should have no trouble conquering new fans. Yet the permanent move to the United Kingdom is still a brave one, the latest in the career of a young woman who four years ago gave up unsatisfying hospitality work on a luxury yacht to pursue her musical passion.
In explaining her decision to move to the UK, Prita sees swapping Fremantle’s docks for Canary Wharf as a personal challenge.
“I’ve always got to do something to see what happens,” she says. “It’s exciting and scary at the same time.”
In the McQueen bar basement, where every Wednesday night is live music night, an enthusiastic crowd, with not a small number of vocal Australians, welcomed Prita to the stage. Standing before the 60-odd attendees who were reclining comfortably in dark Chesterfield sofas, Prita began the evening with her rhythmically pulsating song ‘I Got The Fire.’
As though defying the crowd to categorise her original style, Prita’s second number began with a scat. The third and fourth songs were fruit of a recent summer romance in Greece. Prita followed these with ‘Whiskey Heart’, which brought a few dancers onto the floor, before finishing with an audience request that paid tribute to her home town, Fremantle.
The performance made wide use of one of Prita’s distinguishing musical features, the loop pedal. The use of the pedal reflects Prita’s love of harmony.
“It’s a great way to have a solo show and then still make a bigger sound,” Prita explained. The loop is just one aspect of a technically rich performance, underwritten by a flexible yet always impressive voice, which succeeds in giving layers of musical depth to this one-woman show.

British Urban Review – Live Review!

25/11/2011 – A Personal Loop-Peddle Performance by Prita
http://www.britishurbanreview.co.uk/music-reviews.php
We sent our review team to Swindon to check out Prita, an Australian newcomer on her UK autumn tour. They came back singing her praises (as well as some of her catchy songs). It was held in a small venue that wasn’t packed out; although, this gave the gig a very personal feel. Oh and what a voice! She had our two chaps a little besotted by her and her music. She sings about personal experiences, from being on the road to home life back in the land of Oz. The whole gig had a story telling theme that was very compelling and interesting.
We have heard of loop-peddles before but we are aware many of you may not have. However, we had never seen one being used live before. It was impressive to say the least. Our review guys are still uncertain as to the science behind these musical contraptions; but we recommend you look them up to try and figure them out for yourself. There was only one criticism from the evening and that was the man in charge of sound check. We found the gig a bit loud for such a small venue, but not so much to detract from the performance itself.
Now, the genre of music is a confusing one; it has branches of Hip Hop, Soul and Folk which is very reminiscent of our main man in the charts at the moment, Ed Sheeran. It was an enjoyable few hours and we recommend you go and see this Australian beaut for yourself. Check out her website prita.com.au for more details on her current UK tour and to sample some of her music.
Keep plugged in to see our album review on this newcomer. Coming soon!
