About Me...

picture of Tony SimisterWelcome to my website. Born and educated in the North West of England I now I live and work in South Devon on the edge of Dartmoor. I have been involved in studying, playing and teaching music for as long as I can remember and I am active in many musical projects - playing celtic fiddle, jazz guitar, mandolin, piano, I love music across all its manifestations - whether it be jazz, classical, folk, opera - each of these is a dialect of a language that speaks to us all. In my own composition work I like to blend and mix, to meld and fuse as many of these different styles and idioms as I can!

 About me...alt

I was born and raised in Manchester and later lived in Cheshire, but for many years have been living in Devon. I love walking anywhere any time. I have just started becoming a more global and adventurous traveller. I sing in a band along with husband Tony.

I have a lifelong interest in social history, and have written three books – on the lives of John Keats, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Charles Dickens.

I have been involved in theatre for a number of years but relatively recently found myself working with children in musical theatre.
