Her love of music was clearly evident from a very early age. She has sung since she was a child, and living in a small community, was always being asked to sing. She joined a church choir, and by sixteen was singing with a local function band.
She moved to Aberdeen, the UK’s oil capital. This vibrant, expanding City provided many opportunities for live music, and she found herself singing in top class hotels and venues. She soon became professional, and has been ever since.
After leaving Scotland, she travelled the world singing in Dubai, Tenerife, on cruise ships, and many major theatres, concert venues etc. in the UK.
She has shared the stage with Les Dawson, Frank Carson, Joe Longthorne, Brendan Shine, and many more.
Elspeth has an impressive two and-a-half octave vocal range. She sings, either accompanied by musicians, or to her own backing tracks. These are provided by her musician husband, Mike Sullivan, from their professional recording studio.

Elspeth is the consummate professional, business like, friendly and reliable.
Elspeth lives with Mike and their daughter, Kay, in a cottage near Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, with two cats (at the last count!).
She is immensely proud of her Scottish roots, and still keeps in touch with relatives and friends back home (some from school days)
