As we all know, Covid 19 has turned the world upside down. It’s very sad to read about so many wedding postponements.
The current situation is not difficult just for brides and grooms but for wedding suppliers as well. Many business owners are very anxious and a few are not even sure whether their business might survive. But there are many positive stories out there as well.
This week, we bring you a truly inspiring story by a talented wedding singer, Gemma Turner.
Gemma’s story shows us that if you are true star, nothing can dim your light!
Instead of worrying about her business, Gemma has decided to share heart-warming videos with song dedications, via her campaign called “Entertain the Nation”. The hashtag to follow is #entertainthenation.
“I spent the first week of Covid 19 mourning the loss of my work, I watched in disbelief as my diary emptied of singing performances that I had worked so incredibly hard to get. Concerts, weddings and other solo performances have all been cancelled until July and even some of those are starting to look a little doubtful now.
As I came to terms with the loss of my work and the uncertain months ahead I started to feel so sad at what our nation is going through. I felt absolutely desperate to help and contribute what I can in the only way I know how. Through my voice.
I thought that it might help to connect people with their loved ones by letting me know a message and a song dedication that would mean something to either their Mum, Dad, Grandparents, to anyone in isolation facing 3 months of quietness, If I could help to bring them some joy and put a smile on their face then it might just brighten their day.”
I set up a campaign to #entertainthenation every day I record a song with a personalised message and upload it to facebook, Instagram and my YouTube channel and dedicate it to that person.
This is absolutely FREE, I just want to do my bit to help connect people with their families.”
Gemma hopes to be back out singing for weddings and events very soon. If you would like to request a song dedication find Gemma Turner online:
My boss’ son and daughter-in-law to be had to cancel their wedding at the start of all of this. I saw a story on the news where family pics were taped to pews as a couple got married. That made me smile. 🙂
What a pretty voice!
I wish you all the best of luck, stay safe 🙂
Greetings from Stockholm Sweden!
Very cool!! Gemma’s Million Dreams song was awesome. My favorite movie soundtrack ever! I love listening to covers of the songs.
Thanks for sharing and the positive energy that we all need to deal with the current situation 🙂 – Knycx Journeying
This is such a tough time for everyone. My mom had to talk with her Cinco de Mayo entertainer who said she already spent all her deposits and now doesn’t know how she will pay people back.
Such a nice voice and beautiful song. Thanks for encouraging positivity. Here in India people are struggling especially the daily wage earners. We are all helping as much as we can.
Was only reading this morning about some poor couples who are honing to lose thousands due to venues refusing refunds and other companies struggling for funds, it’s heartbreaking
Hope you stay positive and prosper when all this is over
What a voice!!! she has a very beautiful voice.
Tough times for all of us. But when the going gets tough it us the tough who survive is how I am trying to console myself. And listening to lots of music.
I’m bookmarking Gemma’s Million Dreams. Gemma should do more songs on social media. That way more people can hear her. <3
wow. what a golden voice. Gemma does her own way to contribute. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this. we all need more positivity through sharing music. 🙂
It is so heart warming to see these entertainers and people who are out of work now doing what they can to bring positivity to the community. I love it.
Aaawww….it’s a tragedy what we are going through. I wish you all the best, Gemma!
