Australia’s Nicki Gillis has ended the year on yet another positive note – being the most
popular female country recording artist in the UK. In the Hotdisc chart for 2013, Nicki’s self
written song, “I’ll Go My Own Way” just pipped good friend Hayley Oliver and Michelle
Wright as the highest charting female for 2013.

On the back of Nicki’s two tours to the UK in 2013 plus a tour of Germany, Nicki was
surprised by this news. ‘Wow I never thought I would be in the yearly chart, let alone the
leading female’, said Nicki as she took a break from rehearsing with Frank Ifield, Keith
Potger and Wayne Horsburgh for their new stage show, “When Aussies Ruled Britannia”,
‘and it’s so great to see Hayley (Oliver) in the chart as well, I’ve really loved the times we
have sung together on my last two tours in England.”

Nicki has had yet another busy year, apart from her overseas tours she has continued to
co-host Canterbury Country each month with Bob Howe while building her own event
management business and performance school. Much of her time in 2013 was spent
working in the community and speaking at various industry and business functions on
surviving in the entertainment industry and developing an international career as a mother
of two.

Aussies can get to see Nicki on stage in “When Aussies a Ruled Britannia” in late January
throughout regional NSW and Victoria.
