Cathy Carson

Born in Yorkshire Cathy started with dance classes but was always singing to music and at 5yrs old would sing the songs instead of dancing. Joined the school drama group and when her family moved to Skegness when Cathy was 9 she found an amateur operatic society and went from strength to strength taking many lead rolls from the age of 11. Cathy knew that singing would be her life. Her Father became her manager and Cathy started touring all around Lincolnshire with many summer season bookings along the coast. At 14 years old a tour of America came on the books.  A contract was offered with CBS in Philadelphia but Cathy turned it down, after all she was only 14.  Back in England the Gigs came in from all over and Cathy joined a few young talented musicians and a few bands were formed, the last being in the 70s, Called 'The Three New Pennies "and a L. P. was made called Newly Minted. Sales rocketed but did not quite make the album charts. The popularity of the band grew and grew. When the band disbanded, Cathy continued in a small way by her self. Unfortunately in 2001 Cathy had throat problems and completely lost her voice, no talking or singing, the voice was restored after treatment and in 2003 she came to live in Spain. Cathy just loves to sing.
