About Me

Since my teenage years (not that long ago, thank you) I've been performing as a vocalist with, what I like to think is a memorable act. I have a wonderfully lively personality and always give 110% at every show.I work mainly in pubs, clubs and private functions, including weddings and dinner-dances, across the South East. I'm told I'm blessed with a naturally clear, beautiful voice, and more front than Harrods....My repertoire includes hits from Barbra Streisand, Patsy Cline and Ella Fitzgerald to Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Shania Twain and many more!Alongside my singing career, I have performed at the Royal Festival Hall, Bromley's Churchill Theatre and the Bob Hope Theatre in Eltham to name but a few.From 2004 to the end of 2006, I sang with The Hit Squad, a fantastic covers band, and now front Diva! a new five-piece act, performing jazz standards, funk, soul and disco.We're currently looking for a new venue for our Singer's Night - check out our Myspace page for more details: www.myspace.com/singersnight1 - Look forward to seeing you there!!!

The perfect end to a perfect day

Woke up this morning... (duh DAAH de dah) You know the rest.  As days go it was a pretty uneventful one.  Spent most of it in front of the telly watching repeats of Top Gear on Dave*. ...

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies

People are strange. I'm not talking about the Don Quixote kind of weird, it's more the day to day bizarreness of those we come across.  As the saying goes: "there's nowt so queer as folk".We all ...

Winners never quit, quitters never win.

I'm the kind of person that takes everything to heart and I do have a tendency to over-dramatise and over-analyse situations, projecting the worst possible outcome to everything, which inevi...
