They all had a talent for singing and dancing. When in 1977
Barry suggested that she join him on stage in a new look
band he was putting together she agreed on the understanding
that she bring her sister Carol along with her. Dawn and
Carol were together in Smackee for the best part of a decade
when Carol decided to leave in order to get married and
settle down.
Over
the years Dawns contribution to Smackee has grown and grown,
as has her confidence and stature on stage. Her voice has
also matured and become more powerful and versatile allowing
her to tackle a wide variety of songs and personas…which
