Gail has recently retired from a 32 year career as a primary school teacher, specialising (for the last 10 years) teaching curriculum music including recorder and ukulele instrument lessons. Her love of music began in secondary school where she performed in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas such as The Gondaliers, Trial by Jury, The Pirates of Penzance, Ruddigore and The Mikado. Gail went on to become a member of the Market Harborough Operatic Society performing in Anything Goes and The Mikado and joined Innovations (where she and Craig met) performing Magic of the Musicals tours, Godspell and Our Day Out. As well as ukulele, she plays descant and tenor recorder, violin and piano.
