I’ve wondered for years as to whether to post these pictures, worried that they are too “behind the scenes”- but now I just want to celebrate the days when my skin bounced back. 😂
although my lovely make up artist friend Marianne did the make up for the show- and for One/Two promotional pictures too…
WTF to wear! Ah, the drama, the stress and worry of what to wear……image so important but it’s just as important to look as if you just don’t care……

Training session so I feel my best…….just look at my face……
Pre-gig posing with Paul Hope…
The gig!!! Me doing Shirley Bassey arms……back in the day, before headlining Reading I had 4 singing lessons with Helena Chanel who was SB’s vocal coach. One lesson, she told me to “look at Shirley’s shoulderblades” and made me emulate the position as it increased lung capacity…….so now you know……

The relief of the aftershow, with my lovely friend Paul. I’m a bit sweaty, eyeliner ran as I cried onstage during Ghost, but elated.
