The Strawberry Thieves are..... Angela Wright Bass Guitar
Born a while ago in London and raised in the sleepy backwater of Clacton-on-Sea, Angela is a classically-trained pianist but has recently achieved a long-cherished dream of learning to play the trumpet. Her musical path took her to Leeds University where she studied French and Music, spending a year teaching English in France, where she formed a choir at the school she was teaching in. Back in Leeds, after graduating, Angela married Phil, gained a diploma in Librarianship and embarked on the great adventure of motherhood. Not one to be deterred by a challenge, nor the presence of four (wonderful) children, Angela continued to sing with the Leeds Guild of Singers and took up piano teaching and woodwork as an antidote to nappies and toddler talk. Her involvement in all things musical has seen her playing flute, keyboard and trumpet in church, running an under-5's music and movement class, administrating the fan club for the band Iona, running a school orchestra and playing her beloved trumpet in a local orchestra and jazz band. Musical influences vary, being heavily classical in the early years, through a love of Simon and Garfunkel, to a newly-discovered interest in jazz, plus a re-acquaintance with pop music thanks to dawn-to-dusk Atomic Kitten and S-Club emanating from her 11-year-old's bedroom. read more about Angela
