Pat loves to sing and tell stories. The singing career came first when, as the Lullaby Lady, she released three award-winning recordings to encourage parents to sing with their little ones. Then came the stories. As a founding member of the Victoria Storytellers’ Guild many years ago, she set out on the alluring path of the storyteller and has never stepped off. Now she combines both stories and songs whenever she can, and tells to audiences of all ages.
