Since the day I stepped on to the stage at Sadlers Wells as a young dancer at the All England Dance champions showcase in the late 1980's, I knew I had found a place where I belonged. My father put me together a selection of theatrical make-up, brushes and creams in an old red and black tool box for that great event, which I stumbled across the other day in storage. In it were lists of stage directions and old programs, ranging from my days with the local theater companies through to my professional debut as a soprano alongside Dame Judy Dench, Jane Eaglen and Sir Nigel Hawthorne not to mention a host of other British stars of stage and screen, at a Royal Benefit Gala in Stevanage. Being taken under the wing by so many incredibly inspirational people, sharing their talents and remarkable personalities is but one happy memories of the thousands of hours I have spent living my dream.

Whether recording, session singing, part of a close harmony group, teaching, being accompanied by five hundred bagpipes,performing in Opera, musical theatre or on the concert stage I'm grateful to be part of such an exciting and rewarding profession, full of passion and diversity.

Thank you for sharing.
