Singing at The ACLT Charity Fundraiser 2006
'Music is my life, without music I can't survive'
Julie Ann started out wanting to be a singer. From a very young age she would sing along to the songs on the radio mimicking her favourite pop stars (yes POP stars! she was young!).
Her passion for music was heighten when she entered seniors school. There she was introduced to her music teacher Mr Thompson, who was a classically trained musician. His passion for teaching music entranced Julie Ann and she quickly became teachers pet; wanting to learn all she could from this fascinating man.
She started off gradually by learning how to play percussion before moving on to the Bass guitar. Mr Thompson acknowledged his pupils engerness to learn and encouraged it by teaching her how to set up a stage for the performances that the school band would put on during assembly times and school concerts. Although the school band was made up of only boys, Julie Ann was the only one that could set up all the stage equipment by herself thanks to Mr Thompson. She eventually set up the school first and only ever girl band. They failed because the other girls were more interested in the boys the band attracted then practising their instruments.
As a youngster she joined a few bands as a bass player, but nothing was to come of them. For one of the bands her father William Edward Ryan (R.I.P) used to be the band driver and would drive them to their practise locations. On other occassion the band would all squeeze into the back of a Morris Minor and trust if you don't know IT IS A SMALL CAR! All the while Julie Ann's passion for singing never waned.
She continued to persue a her dream by backing other singers while putting in the studio time at a friends studio. But it would seem that singing was not to be her vocation. (BY THE WAY HER NAILS ARE REAL!!!)
