DEBBIE  WOODCOCK

When I was a kid I would listen to Punk Rock and Jazz. The first record I ever bought was Marc Bolan and T Rex and my second record was Doris Day's Greatest Hits. To say my musical tastes were diverse would be an understatement and I have kept in touch with all styles ever since.

I first started singing on stage in my late teens/ early twenties as part of Mayhem Drama Group. We were very much a revue type show and I was involved in writing and performing funny sketches, skits of popular films and TV shows and rewriting funny words to pop songs of the day. That's where the singing came in, no one else would sing the songs so I had to!

Anyway one day one of the guys in the audience asked me if I fancied singing in a band. I thought about it for two seconds and said yes. That was one steep learning curve, I had never sung down a microphone before let alone sing with real musicians. But the thrill of it was fantastic and to this day I still get the same buzz stepping out on stage with a live band.

Over the past fifteen years I have had the privilege of singing with many bands from rock, soul, blues to jazz. I even sang with a big band once. I love to sing all styles; diversity is still the thing that keeps music interesting for me. Now singing with Blurred Vision I have joined my ultimate band, a group of guys who can play everything and play everything well, what more could a vocalist ask for.
