About Me

I am a warm, giggly and ever so friendly Lincolnshire-bred filly. Well behaved, house trained with low mileage. I am currently involved in a hive of musical activity, as a vocalist, composer, performer, teacher and conductor...general muso. Currently spend most my time engrossed in writing music, attending rehearsals or shifting paperwork around...the perils of music teaching! I have a plethora of performing experience, which began at a young age. I have worked in all fields, as a solo artist and a group player/director. Some of the work includes orchestras, bands, musical theatre, choirs and other secular groups. I have sung at many prestigious venues both in the UK and abroad, including The Dorchester Hotel, London and The Komedia, Brighton. A full resume can be supplied on demand! Have a listen to the audio tracks, including "Let it Go" which I wrote for funk band Mista Blista and is the title track on our previous album... There are also tracks from my debut solo album and jazz duo Astoria's Lounge. Go to www.marybettles.com and www.astoriaslounge.com...Talk to me - Would love to hear from you! A vocalist and bassoonist - available now for studio work and live events. music layout @ Unique MySpace Layouts - Movie Layouts - Music Layouts - More MySpace Layouts! - MySpace Tools
