UJ&SB is a community band based at and supported by Uppingham Community College. The band grows out of a 15-year tradition of swing, jazz and rock music at the college, with members ranging in age from 13 to 70+. Great vocalists, a rock 'n' roll rhythm section and a big brass sound: these elements combine to make the exciting music of the UJ&SB!

The band's open to anyone who wants to have fun making music. We don't have auditions, so just come along and help us to conjure some of that 'Jools Holland magic' - jazz, blues and soul played by a big band that can both rock and swing.

I'm a singer/songwriter.
On TikTok most evenings.
My songs reflect my personality.
When I write they seem to come from nowhere but from somewhere. 
I've been working alongside my Husband 'David Williamson-Smith' who helped arrange and produce my album. Also been working with 'Ed Gilmour' who plays guitar and has some great ideas. 
My influences have changed throughout the years,but my first influence has to be Karen Carpenter, who was played a lot when i was growing up by my Father. Hope you enjoy listening to them as much as i've enjoyed writing them.
