Eleanor Purcell - update November 2008   Back to Eleanor's page

Noticing the recent worldwide interest in our page about Eleanor, I dropped her a line. (Ed.)

Dear Eleanor

I hope you are well and that your singing career is flourishing.
I expect you know all this already, but in case you don't, I am writing to tell you about the numbers of people who are looking at your photograph on The Eversdens village website. Most days someone is having a look at you. They Google your name and your page in the village website comes up on the first Google page.
This morning it was someone in Mexico. But in recent weeks there have been visitors from Vancouver, Budapest, Brussels, Kuwait, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Germany, Luxembourg, Paris, Portugal, Helsinki, Ontario, Finland, Rome, (to name the last few!) and some from UK of course.
I hope this means that your career has taken off.
If you have the time, perhaps you would send me notes for an update on your page on the website - and a couple of photos perhaps. I am sure it would be of interest to local people.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes

Hi David,

Thank you for this information, it's very exciting to hear. Things do finally seem to be picking up, I've had a PR team doing a bit of media promotion for me and have had several local and national magazine and newspaper features (one in The Sunday Star's Take 5 magazine on Sun 30th Nov). I've got some interest from local radio stations and am planning to do a tour of some shopping centres singing Christmas carols in Dec to raise my profile and hopefully raise some money for Cancer Research at the same time. If you know of any venues that might be interested in my carol singing please let me know.
I'll give you the links to a couple of the online features, you're more than welcome to take any of the info to update your website and any of the photos too.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help, I'm extremely grateful for your support - thank you.
