Annette was born in Pontnewydd and has been playing piano since the age of 7.

Many local organisations have very much benefited from her vast experience as an accompanist – amongst which have been Richmond Road Baptist Church, Fairhill Methodist Church, a local dancing school, and she has also assisted in several musical productions.

Pontnewydd Male Choir have benefited from her talent since she joined in January 2000 and the choir were delighted to make a presentation to her recently to recognise her 25 years of service.

Her skill and dedication, together with her patience, sense of humour and quiet charm are much appreciated, especially in the practise room which have endeared her to the choristers.
