Biography

Tullamore was born in Carshalton, a suburb of the London Borough of Sutton, England and grew up in Banstead.[1]

She began her vocal career as a child singer with the Coloma Girls' School Choir, one of the largest school choirs in Southern England. Choral activities included regular sell-out concerts at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon, international singing tours and regular recordings of the children's programmes Singing Together and Time and Tune for BBC Radio.

After graduating with honours in linguistic science, Tullamore lived in Tokyo, Japan, working in live and studio singing and voice-over work before moving to Paris, France in 1995.

From 1995 to 1998 she sang with the Jazzberries, a female jazz vocal trio featuring Peggy Connelly and Wendy Taylor.[2] The trio performed at major clubs and festivals throughout France.

In 1999 she sang the title role in the musical Pocahontas at Disneyland Resort Paris. In 2003 she participated in the original cast recording of Blanche Neige (Snow White) staged at the Folies Bergère.

gollark: If I were to enter this I may deliberately write my programs in the most stupid and ridiculous way possible (or at least I find it favorable to claim that now maybe), such as by, for example, using preprepared pickle streams for arbitrary code execution, doing everything in one line, horrible overuse of `exec`/`eval`, using that thing where python will execute code from a ZIP concatted onto an image, downloading data from pastebin or whatever, blatantly ignoring all available Python style guides, or mucking with the AST module and importlib to transform the code into other stuff.
gollark: Iterator functions vs for loops, classes versus namedtuples and dataclasses and whatever else, APLish array programming type solutions versus... not that?
gollark: I mean, they claim that, but you can solve many things in lots of different ways.
gollark: There is not *actually* one way to do it in python though.
gollark: For purposes only.
