A member of several traditional groups in the Borders’ region, she musically directs the Wooler-based Glendale Community Ceilidh Band as well as Tribe, an all-female a-Capella group.

As well as the violin, she plays the piano and the Northumbrian pipes.
Most memorable moment: A Jazz-lover, one of my most memorable musical moments was singing with a French Jazz group on a Seine River cruiser at the wedding of my French friends in Paris.
