Favourite show


 Oliver  as my daughter Victoria jnr performed on stage with me, I can’t express how special it was. I also loved The King and I  as I was expecting my son Harrison during it and Me and My Girl as I was expecting my Victoria during it. 


Fun Fact



The R&R sang at my wedding, I celebrated my 21st birthday during a production with The R&R in NCH and now my 3 children Harrison, Victoria and George are such a great help to me with the Junior section of the R&R as I am the co ordinator.  My daughter Victoria will perform with me again in “Sing into Summer”! I really enjoyed singing for the President in Aras and Uachtarain with the society. The R&R are like a family to me and I feel so so lucky to to be part of it and that my children are now so heavily involved. It is such an honour to serve on committee
