I have been lucky to have met or worked with so many fabulous and famous people. How many celebrants can say they've sung with Paul Kelly AO & Julie Anthony or sat alongside Kate Miller-Heidke and Pete Murray for dinner and lunch respectively? No, I'm NOT a singer - just in the right place at the right time and more than a few stories to tell.
