She is also the leader and clarinet soloist in the Newcastle Concert Band, Tyneside's premier wind band. She has on two occasions performed Weber's concertino arranged for solo clarinet and wind band.

Lucy regularly gives concerts to local charitable organizations giving a performance of both classical and light music on all her instruments. In January 1997 Lucy entertained Prince Charles on his visit to Tyneside. She is also much in demand by local amateur operatic societies as a woodwind performer.

Since 1997 Lucy has had many further engagements including performances  with the Northumberland Orchestra, The New Tyneside Orchestra and the Durham String Orchestra. She is also spending some time recording a CD which contains mostly works by British composers including a sonata especially written for Lucy by the English composer John Hawks. A sample of the 2nd movement is available here in MP3 format. Listen to the music.

If you wish to be sent a free copy of the whole of the sonata this can be obtained by e-mailing Lucy directly.

Lucy is now concentrating on the performance aspect of her work particularly on her principle instrument, the clarinet. Lucy is seeking further engagements either in an orchestra or as a soloist.
