Robin Hood Pantomime: 17th - 25th January 2025
I loved playing the character of Sniff (one of the Sheriff of Nottingham's hopeless sidekicks) as part of LIDOS's production of Robin Hood: A Merry Pantomime Adventure. It was wonderful to be playing a silly character again. Plus, I had never done a run this long before but found I loved every day.
Before the performances though, I did need to have 2 biopsies and it did bruise a lot causing a bit of pain. But, as they say, the show does go on! I'm glad that I performed this and gave it my best - you can only really do this when surrounded by supportive and caring people. I'm very grateful.
Encore - Celebrating 50 Years of LIDOS: 28th September 2025
It was an honour to be part of the LIDOS 50th Celebrations at the Huddersfield Town Hall especially, to be involved in a featured small singing group as well singing a gorgeous arrangement of 'You've got a Friend' by Carole King - I love choral arrangements with amazing harmonies.
It certainly was a celebratory evening with songs spanning through LIDOS previous performances throughout it's lifetime.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special occasion.
Made in Dagenham (MAOS): 18th - 21st September
I performed as Barbara Castle in the MAOS production of Made in Dagenham at Morley Town Hall. This was a very fun part to play as she deifnitely was a tour de force of a woman with desire for real change.
Belting my heart out night after night for 'Ideal World' was a pleasure although I was full of cold the first couple of nights but once I shook it, I felt like I could bring the house down!
It was my first show wearing different hats on a wig as well as wearing fake eyelashes. Was definitely something I'm glad to have learned but did take me a while to get used to them! The heels that I wore are definitely being kept - it's nice to wear shoes with a chunky heel and not fall over!
Thanks to Stage Shots photography for the picture.
The School of Rock (LIDOS): 12th - 15th June 2024
I performed in my first show with LIDOS - the School of Rock the Musical! I had the amazing opportunity to perform the role of Jeff (which we renamed to Jess). This character is the one who decides who is in the battle of the bands as well as annoucing the winner and showing some serious attitude along the way - unless it's No Vacancy!
Was the most eventful performance I've done in a long time but definitely brought a massive glow to my heart.
Until next time - keep rocking!
Dick Whittington (MAOS): 25th - 28th January 2024
I was part of the ensemble for the Dick Whittington Pantomime performed by MAOS. Always a really great time, especially my moment as sporty spice from the Spice Girls! The show came together and I really pushing myself and learning new dances along the way.

My Fair Lady (MAOS): 20th - 23rd September 2023
In MAOS (Morley Amateur Operatic Society - https://morleyaos.org.uk/) production of My Fair Lady at Morley Town Hall - UK, I played a maid as well as being in ensemble. I hadn't been in such a big show for such a long time so was a lot of fun and really great experience. It got me singing to heights I haven't sung for quite a while. Definitely a great show and warming up my vocals ready for my next adventure.

Sandal Scarecrow Festival: 10th-11th June 2023
I had the fantastic opportunity to sing again at the Sandal Scarecrow Festival 2023 on the 10th and 11th June at West Yorkshrie Sports and Social Club. Such a hot day!!!!! I had a fantastic time again and really hope to see everyone again soon!
Beauty & the Beast Pantomime (MAOS): 26th-29th January 2023
I played Forchette (the Fork) in Morley Amateur Operatic Society's production of Beauty and the Beast Pantomime at Morley Town Hall. My character was an enchanted fork (think Mrs Potts type character) in the Beast's castle with a gorgeous solo number. Lots of laughs, songs and audience participation and very few seats left to be had. I had an amazing time and will definitely perform with the group again!
Sandal Scarecrow Festival - 11th June and 12th July 2022
I was back to perform at the Sandal Scarecrow Festival 2022! I had such a great time and special shout outs to Evie (apologies if your name is spelt wrong) and the wonderful people who sat on the grass or stood in front of the gazebo listening to me sing and just taking it all in. Feeling all of the love and support and is really appreciated! I had been having a bit of issues with performance anxiety (why there'd been such a big performance gap) but this has deifnitely been countered now. Thank you all so much for the love and support.
I've also been invted to perform at the Sandal Scarecrow Festival 2023 so won't be long until I'm back!
