Jean has been a part of the GHO team from the beginning. She was in the cast when the rock opera Chains! Was first performed at the Secombe Centre, in Sutton, Surrey in the 1990s. Since then she has been a regular contributor, both as an alto singer and as a violist, as required. Her GHO activities apart, Jean also directs her own Old Thyme Dance Orchestra, based in Sevenoaks, Kent.
