I was introduced to karaoke in October 2001. I began rather tentatively singing once a fortnight but increased my output as I gained confidence. I enjoy venturing to new venues, to make new friends, try out my songs on new ears, and learn more by listening to other singers. I now sing in a variety of venues (although I do have some regular haunts) and I'm out six nights each week. I have so far sung in over 200 different venues and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment in every one of them. I have made so many friends I find it impossible to remember all of their names (I just hope they can remember mine).
