Michelle started playing piano and folk & classical guitar as a tiny tot, and by 14yrs swore she'd be in a band one day. She and Ben are the founding members of Magicfolk and together they write and arrange all the material. Her early music loves include Pink Floyd, Boomtown Rats, Bowie, Jefferson Airplane, Neil Young, Joan Armatrading, amongst many others. She has also spent too much time in theatre as actress, stage-manager, and waved long bits of steel around in her former existence as stage-fight choreographer, fencing instructor and martial artist. She's now trying to think about how to incorporate Tai Chi sword forms into a gig... Michelle is into hens, cats and other furry or feathery characters.
