from Marlene:-

"Started singing in 1990 after completing singing lessons with John Crossing.

I sang with amateur groups THE TROUBADOURS and the MARIE CLARK SINGERS for 12 months after which I was asked by local entertainer Peter Williams to join him doing floor shows and singing with him at various clubs and restaurants.

After 12 months with Peter I began a duo CLASS ACTION with a keyboard player Gerry Hutton. We generally worked 2-3 times a week with regular work at venues.
HAMSTEAD HOTEL every Thursday night doing country music. CRUISING YATCH CLUB OF S.A. monthly dinner dances.

Over the years since I have worked with other keyboard players still as CLASS ACTION working regularly at hotels such as MODBURY HOTEL
HIGHLANDER HOTEL
TORRENS ARMS HOTEL

I have also worked various restaurants, clubs, weddings etc.

These days I do a lot of solo work with computer assisted music

My style is versatile, covering most styles of music including a good deal of country classics."
