As a young girl, I was an ardent film fan. I went to the cinema at least twice a week. I loved all the musicals, the westerns, the dramas and the comedies. I grew up thinking it must be the best job in the world to be a film projectionist. Dad told me to forget it, it was mans work!

As a teenager, during the sixties, there were countless new pop groups discovered, and some wonderful solo pop stars. I travelled miles to see my favourite stars and groups. Their world seemed like magic to me, and I decided maybe I could become a groupie. Once again Dad put the dampeners on it.

As I grew up, my tastes became more sophisticated, and I couldn't get enough of the marvellous shows the big theatres put on. Some were so popular, I remember having to wait for months to get a ticket. I would watch them in amazement - that's when I decided that as I was always good at art, (I spent two years at Art College) I missed my vocation, I really would like to be a scene designer. By then, I was married, and my husband thought I was crazy. Who would look after the children when I went away to work? There were only two ...
... small theatres in our district.

My ambitions would have to go on hold. I continued visiting the theatres, watching all the changes and improvements taking place. On a holiday in Las Vegas, we went to see Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Starlight Express". The audio visual effects made it absolutely breathtaking. We had never seen anything like it in this country, and planned to see as many shows as we could on our holiday.

Oddly enough, I have only seen one outside pop festival. The noise and the crowds, not to mention the mud, was not my scene, and had it not been for the audio visuals, I would not have recognised my favourite groups - without the visuals they would have looked like dots on a stage.

Recently, my daughter and I went to see the tribute to Queen, "We will rock you". It was brilliant - very cleverly written by Ben Elton, and the music was great. What pleased me most of all, was that I realised we had caught up with Las Vegas, because the computerised audio visual effects made the whole show one of the most memorable I have seen for a long while.

Things have certainly moved on, I realise now my true vocation is in audio visuals - the only problem is, am I too old at 65?
