A DYNAMIC CAREER
in Acting and Music
From captivating audiences on stage to creating unforgettable music, my journey as a performer has been pretty rich, varied, and fueled by a love for storytelling.
For over 30 years acting and singing have taken me across the world and I’ve been fortunate to share stories on stage both through theatre and music.
Film & Stage
I started my acting career with Boston’s Shakespeare & Company, where I learned the art of storytelling and acting through both classic and modern works. Moving to Ireland in 2000 opened new doors, from stage productions to film roles alongside iconic actors like Angela Lansbury, Robert and Keith Carradine, , and Mia Farrow.
Theatre
Starred in Les Liaisons Dangereuses at The Gate Theatre.
Co-starred in The Country Boy on an international tour with Big Telly Theatre Co.
Starred in Bewleys Cafe Theatre’s production of Roman Fever.
Co-starred in Focus Theatre’s production of Very Heaven
Directed and performed in productions with my own multimedia company, Extempo.
Film
Played Isabella in the BBC’s Inspector George Gently.
Appeared in Acceptable Risk for RTE/Canada TV.
Acted in Honeymoon for One alongside Nicolette Sheridan.
Fun Fact…
I founded the Bare Bards Theatre Co., where we brought irreverent and wildly entertaining street theater performances to festivals across Ireland.

The Times
Music Career
When I landed in Ireland, I had £200 in my pocket, my guitar, and a love for Irish traditional music. I started out going to trad sessions and singing acoustic folk and blues but my love of great stories saw my musical style evolved to jazz, cabaret, and world music.
Performing in venues from Dublin to Prague to New York’s Lincoln Center, I’ve combined my love for storytelling with music, creating intimate, theatrical performances that have taken me around the globe..
Highlights
Performed at prestigious festivals, including the Cork International Jazz Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Wrote and starred in one-woman shows like All About Love, Strapless, Viva, and Lush Life.
Shared stages with legends like Dionne Warwick and Ronnie Drew.
Albums and Projects
Released three albums: All About Love, Torch Song, and Viva.
Featured on compilation CDs with artists like Damien Rice, Bella Fleck, and John Prine.
Fun Facts…
I blend music from multiple genres and languages—Spanish, Italian, French, and Polish—into my performances.
And the first band I ever sang with in Ireland was with Ailish Lennon and Sean Lennon of the mighty Lennon Irish traditional music family.
