Joining her will be Amy Cate Walsh and Phoebe Jeanes, who have only just joined the ranks of the school’s alumnae, along with Colin Druce on piano.

Amy and Phoebe have been pupil’s of Gaynor’s for over a decade and have found her to be an inspiring coach.

Amy said: “Our lessons with Gaynor have been filled with fun, laughter and, on occasion, tears.

“Gaynor taught us not only the art of singing, but also invaluable performance skills and the rule that you never disagree with your singing teacher!”
