About

I'm a classically trained singer and mezzo-soprano with 30 years of experience. I work across the North West, Wales, and Scotland at weddings, concerts, oratorio, and funerals.

I've had the privilege of singing with some fabulous musicians, including being the principal singer with The Manchester Camarata Orchestra, the Bolton Symphony Orchestra, and BCU, to name but a few, in countless venues, churches and theatres throughout.

I am good at understanding the requirements and needs of individuals, and I use these skills when liaising with couples. Sometimes, they want just a couple of pieces of music to enter and exit the ceremony, and sometimes, they also want me to sing at a time of reflection, and so on. I have a large repertoire of songs, not only classical but across most genres of music. If I don't already have it in the repertoire, I am happy to learn it for the special day.

Most of the time, people use a resident organist or pianist at the venue or church, but I can always book a fellow musician to accompany me if needed. With my experience, I can either sing to an orchestra, a single accompanist, or even a recorded track.

I have many reviews and footage to share and showcase my work.
