I was a member of Sing and Discover Choir for 5 years. During this time I experienced many exciting experiences, the most amazing of which was singing with the choir on Channel 5's 'don't stop believing'. We were chosen as a Wildcard by the Judges and sang in the finals, live on TV. An amazing experience! The second-most wonderful experience, was 30 of us singing at Disneyworld, Florida, with the Disney singers, orchestra and chorus, in the World Showcase Theatre, to an audience of over 1,000. I am a member of a choir and last year took part in the musical ' Pirates of Penzance' (for the 6th time)! For over 30 years I have sung in the chorus of many musicals on the amateur stage. I have also sung solos in Olde Tyme Concerts and Pantomimes. I used to run a small group of singers (3 of us) who performed at Care Homes for the elderly - I also did the choreography. I recorded singing Waiting at the Church for my audition for Sky 1's Got to Dance, series 5. I play the piano (not terribly well!)

I have been a Walk-on in the most recent series of 'The A Word' and an 'extra' in 'The Syndicate', both for BBC 1; also an 'extra' in 'Cold Feet', 'Paranoid'; 'The Trials of Jimmy Rose' and 'Butterfly' for ITV; and an 'extra' in 'The Five' for Sky 1; I've also had roles in many short films.

With my choir, I have also taken part in Channel 5's T.V. programme 'don't stop believing', when we were chosen by the judges as a 'wildcard', which enabled us to return and take part in the finals of the programme. We were also part of the T.V. audience.

I have taken part in Sky l's 'Gotta Dance' competition, Series 5, in which I got through the first round in Manchester, but not the second round judged by 3 Judges in London! I was filmed in my home and also all day at the London studios.

I was a Participant in 'Get your Act Together' for ITV 1 and a Contributor in 'The World of Eating Out' for Channel 4 and also in Noel Edmonds 'Sell or Swap' for Channel 4.
