Michelle’s family are originally from Ireland but she was brought up in Mersham, a small village near Ashford, Kent. She had a very musical upbringing and at an early age she left home to pursue a musical career and is now living in Dymchurch, Romney Marsh in Kent with her family.

Apart from playing the accordion, Michelle also spends time as part of a female duo playing keyboards. They play all kinds of music but mainly sixties or middle of the road music.

Michelle also works for Saga holidays developing ‘special interest’ holidays including music holidays, dancing holidays and art holidays. Saga’s music holidays cover lots of different music genres including New Orleans Jazz, Classical, Opera, Big Band and Popular Music holidays.

When she is not working she loves watching other musicians and socialising.
