Here are a few special moments
Eurythmics at the Belgium Werchter Festival 1983...30 thousand people.
Jo Cocker at the Princes trust charity concert 1988. We worked with a lot of different artists that day, and here we all are with Prince Charles and Princess Di.
Jo was probably sitting sensibly in his dressing room while the rest of us were squashed together here. I am at the back on the left in front of Brian May...I suppose our hair goes well together...
I toured with Spandau Ballet and many other artists for a few years, with Suzie O'List as the other backing vocalist. We called ourselves the Croquettes.
 Our look changed from tour to tour and depending on the artist. Some costumes were definitely more flattering... than others.
This was our heavy metal and rock era with Max and the Broadway Metal Choir and Thunder.
Just before I moved to France  in 1991, I worked with two members of Queen.  I recorded some vocals for Brian May's solo album, and went on tour with Roger Taylor's solo project, The Cross, where I met my husband Jimmy James, the sound engineer on the project.
I  worked with many talented musicians on the following projects when I moved to france in 1991
