She has worked at venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Regents Park Open Air Theatre and of course the 606, where she was a regular for many years (though not so much lately as she is now also Mrs. Steve Brookstein and a mum).

And if we're lucky husband Steve Brookstein may even sing a couple too! Aiding and abetting her today will be Naadia Sheriff-piano, Luca Boscagin-guitar, Rob Rickenberg-bass and Nick Smalley-drums.
