About Me

Trained at QEHS Performing Arts College, Cardiff University School of Music, Phillips-Cain School of Dance and with vocal coaches Jeremy Huw-Williams, Dawn Furness and now Helen Hobson. Make sure you don't miss Ellen's One Woman Cabaret Show in Cardiff and Hexham! Ellen has big yet rather strange dreams for such a little person, these include: meeting the yummy Fern Britton working in a professional production with Helen Hobson abseiling down the Eiffel tower and dueting with Sir Cliff (just in a wee practice room somewhere...nothing big).MyGen Profile Generator
