Rachel started performing at the age of 4 where, after joining Whiittaker's School of Dance & Drama, she was picked to appear in several shows at The Blackpool Opera House.
At the age of 16 she then went on to study music, dance & drama at the Lytham St. Annes School of Performing Arts where she attained an award for her talent.
Rachel has worked all over the UK, Spain, Malta & Turkey. She's performed as a session singer for CRS Records and supported many Top Acts. During 2004/5 she was a member of the very successful 'Tributemania' Show and toured the UK performing as 'Andrea Corr' and 'Sophie Ellis Bextor'.
A must for any occasion, Rachel is a versatile talented performer. She sings beautiful haunting ballads by Eva Cassidy/Katie Melua, she'll have the crowd up on their feet with classic hits by Tina Turner/Cher/Kylie and will have everyone clapping along as she plays the Irish Tin Whistle at lightening speed to her favourite jigs!!
