Kirsty Wright

Kirsty Wright is a singer, performer and dancer from South Yorkshire in the UK. She has been a dancer all her life and has always kept up with the most popular styles of dance. Kirsty became obsessed with ballet dancing from a young age and it is where her heart lies. At 16 Kirsty's enthusiasm for ballet took her to train with some members from the Northern Ballet who are famous for portraying shows all over the world such as "Swan Lake" amongst others. Kirsty had opportunities to further her career in ballet at 16 but as with any other discipline the intense training and dieting that would go with it would take over her whole life and there would be no time left for her second passion which is singing and other types of dance, but this hasn't stopped her from regularly visiting the ballet.

Kirsty has worked with various musicians in bands where she has helped out with vocals, playing bass guitar and playing keyboard/piano. She learned to play the piano and keyboard in her early childhood and continued into her teenage years, she took lessons for these when she wasn't taking dance classes.

Kirsty decided to create a show which would focus on projecting her many talents and would show her potential to the full, but to do this she had to develop the one thing she knew she had but had never been professionally worked on, her voice. Kirsty decided to have vocal training from, not only in her opinion but also many others, the best and most versatile female vocalist and voice coach in South Yorkshire, Stephanie King, who has generously given her time and shared her experiences to help Kirsty and others in Stephanie King's Stage Academy.

Since having vocal training with Stephanie King, Kirsty has definitely found her voice and now with strength, good control, technique and vocal range, Kirsty now has a fabulous show with something for everyone to keep audiences entertained.

Tracey Shields

An uncanny resemblance to Celine Dion

Tracey Shield began singing when she was just 10 years old. She joined YOG (Coventry’s Youth Operetta Group) and stayed there happily for 11 years. During that time, Tracey learnt how to harmonise, audition for roles, act and dance. Tracey gained many main parts including the lead role in “Will Rogers Follies” playing the part of Betty Rogers.

At 21 Tracey, left YOG and by that time was the lead singer with the Kenilworth based band “The Poptarts”. Tracey was part of that line up for about 2 years before she moved on. Tracey says, ”The band wouldn’t ever let me sing a ballad song. I will always love you, was the big song back then and this was always asked for at gigs. The band never let me sing it with them. I think they were frightened someone would see me and maybe make me a star!”

Tracey continued to look for the next project, something that would show off her best talents. For a short period, Tracey took normal 9-5 work, first as a Beauty Therapist, Tracey says “…for me this was the worst job in the world, I would bruise people while waxing”. Later Tracey became a receptionist but always had one eye on the entertainment world. Tracey auditioned for everything from SClub7 to the Spice Girls. And even auditioned for Michael Barrymore’s My Kind of People, where she was filmed in Merry Hill Shopping Centre, Dudley but nothing came of it. It was never shown.

Next Tracey was given the chance to become a “Red Coat” and sing for a living! And so the Butlin’s chapter begins.

Tracey joined in September 1995 a bright and bushy eyed new singer and dancer. Tracey became a “Show Red”, so she didn’t have to perform the usual duties of a Redcoat, which was fine by her. “We performed about 5 shows a day, 6 days a week. I loved it at this time. The first team were so talented and included singers like Eddie Wallace still on the circuit today and comedian Simon King – says Tracey”

A born performer, who has the ability to captivate every audience

Tracy Sheild is Europe’s finest Celine Dion tribute performer. She has performed at some of the countries best venues. Hotels, Golf Clubs, Casinos, Theatres and Restaurants continually book and rebook this well established and polished performer.

Part of Tracey Shield's amazing success is down to her uncanny resemblance to Celine Dion. Both the voice and look is faithfully recreated live on stage and all the hits are performed live.

Her career has taken her all over the UK, Europe, and the World, and performs anywhere from intimate parties, cabaret shows and weddings of as little as 50 people, to outdoor festivals as well as soul allnighters and weekenders for audiences of thousands.
