I was on holiday in New Zealand last year ... when I got a message on facebook from Tracy McQuat asking if I was the Pat Nelson who sang? I remembered Tracy fondly from the festival movement. We met for coffee on my return to Cumbria. She told me about the SOM and asked if I would give her & Lily some lessons...so I took Wendy, Tracy & Lily ... they asked me to go auditions with them....the rest is history....Mother Abbess (for the 2nd time...first in Papua New Guinea...Loved every minute of rehearsals...lovely people, lovely atmosphere ... Never thought I'd do another show. Parts played....Maria (the first amateur Maria in Britain.) Maria in West Side Story in Zambia, many soprano leads in G & S and panto with Jane (Sister Margaretta) when she was 17!! Love it....love it!!
