Carol joined the Society in 1990, when her first production was The Sorcerer. She sang Lady Psyche in Princess Ida in 1992, the first of many principal roles, which have included Prince Orlofsky (Die Fledermaus), Edith and Ruth (Pirates), Patience, Tessa (Gondoliers), Baroness Gondremark (La Vie Parisienne), Elsie (Yeomen), Iolanthe, Pitti-Sing (Mikado), and Mad Margaret (Ruddigore). Carol has again been cast in the role of Tessa in the forthcoming production of The Gondoliers. Carol also performed with the Society in HMS Pinafore (1991), Yeomen (1993) and Sorcerer (2001) and was a member of the society’s Concert Party during the 1990s. The Concert Party gave the society soloists the opportunity to expand their repertoire and gain experience through concert engagements across Fife.

Carol also has substantial experience of musical theatre and solo performance elsewhere. Her favourite stage roles have included Nancy (Oliver) and Lady Thiang (The King and I). Carol includes traditional Scottish pieces in her repertoire when she performs with Limelight, a small group of concert singers based in Dunfermline. As an accomplished pianist, Carol enjoys helping other singers to improve their vocal skills and performance, thereby giving them the confidence to attempt solo work and step on stage in principal parts. She is happy to extend this to the occasional accompanying of the Society during rehearsals.
