  A REALLY obscure, ambiguous fact - one of my earliest public performances was for a visit to Leeds by Cindy Breakspeare, the first black woman ever to be crowned Miss World in 1976. Our performance in 1977 included a song about the ‘Peel Head John Crow’, a Jamaican children’s folk song. I might sing it at a future network meeting!!!

  Fun fact?! And why I do what I do …. I didn’t really know what the arts were, but I always enjoyed making up dance routines and stories, But after being a Sheep, a Turkey and Fire yes just fire!! I decided that maybe I wasn’t cut out for acting. Later in life I discovered you can support other people to tell their stories and decided that was something I wanted to do.
