Poet and Lyricist

​

I'm an ordinary lass caught up in an extraordinary life, I have no real musical or literary background to speak of

(however, my Grandma was the best cook ever and being Irish my Pop was always singing), I didn't start writing until 2011 after a particularly difficult time in my life,  I have always been arty however I do feel as if I've been blessed with a gift to use and take care, it's intriguing to see just where life will lead, I am very lucky, I have a wonderful family of whom I am extremely proud of and a fabulous husband, my earth angel and my mews.  I was born in Belfast, grew up in the RAF, moved innumerable times, and was lucky enough to live in Malta for 3+ years. Always singing in choirs and shows since I was tiny, my most ambitious project to date has been to play the part of Mary Magdelene in the huge open air Passion Play in Bedford, Easter 2016, and that led onto singing as part of a Christian/folk duo called Hope; I was then lucky enough to become the resident poet for St Peter de Merton church and a Local Leader of Worship. I have, like everyone else, had problems as life sideswipes me on a regular basis, however, I learned that there is just no knowing what wonders tomorrow will bring, how exciting..........
