Here she is!

And in the beginning there was music!

Being from Liverpool and born in an era of  a world changing revolutionist is now surprise that music runs through my veins. I am privileged  to come from a family that spent evenings round the piano singing, always a party,such happy memories both my parents on the stage as classical singers a child hood in the theatre, good solid foundations .

At the age of 7 I got my first guitar (I think it was in hope I would stop playing recorder) I thought I was Mary Hopkins, those where the days ….. I was fortunate enough to go to a school that taught music before litresiey, a fantastic teacher (Mr Johnson) taught Crosby Stills and Nash The Beatles and Simon and Garth I was wearing a purple maxi dress (first time round) wedges and poppet beads some thing never change. Through out my teens all my friends played and sang and so it continued.

One of my dearest friends and inspirations Peter Smith a fantastic musician and genius, he would learn every song I loved and we would buzz with happiness at party’s with a guitar and bottle of wine, Peter was tragically taken away aged 27 but inspires me to live life to the full.

2000 was the year of change and I foretold of a land I needed to visit following a dream, Fuerteventura,my premonition told me I would own a bar in four years: working for the NHS mother of 3 with out ambition this was a strange prophecy……..
One hot summer night late July I walked in to a bar where a tall dark odd stranger played Tears in heaven (the last song my friend Peter had played with me ) after a memorable performance he came over sat down next to me and said I need to talk to you;

Our friendship and journey began Eric rekindled my passion for music and we planted seeds that would grow in to Imagine several years later.
Knowing how much Imagine means to so many makes me honerd to nurture her and keep her alive (I am the mother of Imagine ) I am also the mother of 3 beautiful children Marc Hannah and Nathanel for  whom  I wish every happiness on their life path

I feel such gratitude to my my partner Rich, he is so special, he lets me be as high as a kite but just keeps a gentle hold on my string, but my deepest thanks goes to my late grate aunty Birdie who was and always will be the person who taught me unconditional love with out her Imagine would be a Chinese restrant .
If tomorrow never comes I will always be happy with today

 peace love and happiness always
