Our delightful English Lady, lives in Brussels, and works in a French circus which knocks about all over Europe.
She's a white clown (rare), a one-woman band (very rare) and a red nose clown. An incredible musician she plays alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, penny whistles, the flute, the trombone, the clarinet, the piano, the ukulele, the guitar and the musical saw and sings as well.
She thinks in music and sometimes sends letters to her friends in the form of melodies. In all her life she has had only one break away from music, spending a year in Sri Lanka at the age of seventeen, teaching English in an orphanage.
