Petula Clark, Elvis, The Shirelles, Dusty Springfield, Marilyn Monroe, the Rat Pack and Chuck Berry all get a turn. If you are running a Rock and Roll or Rockabilly event, Fiona makes the perfect contrast.

There are sing-alongs from Mr Sandman to Que Sera Sera, musical theatre classics, a touch of the 70s with Abba, Elton John and Dolly Parton, and a Rock and Roll dance set to finish.
