I am fussy about my diet and straining my voice. I know sounds a bit over the top. But I’m not as bad as I used to be. These days I don’t drink alcohol for five days before a show – very dehydrating for the vocal cords and all that acid reflux. I used to ban it for a fortnight. Nightmare.

Oh stuff the critics. I don’t care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look I wasn’t brought up in a home where we listened to classical music.

I’m launching my own festival in South Wales. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s going to be held at Margam Park because I wanted the venue to be as close to my home as possible.

I go home and don’t get treated any differently. People have known me all my life and are interested and very supportive but because they have known me forever I don’t get any diva treatment. My mum still tells me off if I haven’t loaded the dishwasher for her.

I’m a Cancerian the typical crab with the tough outer shell and the soft bit in the middle. I don’t think I’ll ever come to terms with people being unnecessarily nasty but I can take it if someone doesn’t like my music – I’m not everyone’s cup of tea.
