Who are we?



Helen Heather Gabi


Helen Marlow: Helen grew up in family surrounded by music, playing piano, 'cello, and singing in a wide range of choirs and small ensembles. Aged 10 she appeared on Songs of Praise in full screen close-up, but unbeknown to television viewers was more love-struck than star-struck, gazing adoringly at the boy across the aisle! Moving on from her classical upbringing, Helen sang for some years with the Hurst Singers. She also found a love of close harmony a cappella with a ladies' barbershop chorus, where she took a principal role in the music team. Helen now leads a barbershop quartet and works with the Alzheimer's Society to run 'Singing for the Brain' sessions.
Heather Sims: Heather has been entertaining since the age of six, when she used to sing her heart out to a captive audience at the hairdressers!  Now she usually waits to be asked, and has performed as a soloist with local choirs and musical and operatic societies as well as at many private functions.  She has also sung in a variety of choirs and groups, and currently also sings with the the close harmony group Crescendo, the chamber choir Cantemus and the Newbury Festival Chorus.
Gabriele McKeown: Gabriele has loved singing and dancing since early childhood when she sang with school and church choirs.  Since then she has performed a wide variety of music, as a soloist as well as in close harmony ensembles.  One of many highlights on her musical journey was set in 2009, when she played a cockney servant in "My Fair Lady" to the amusement of the stage crew and audiences, as her first language, German, got slightly in the way of the cockney accent.  Gabriele also sings soprano with the Winchester music club.
