Have you always loved clothes?

Music, food and clothes are my three passions in life. I've always loved clothes and I think it runs in the family. If you are raised in a house where your family takes pride in their appearance, then I think that image and fashion rubs off on you.

You have a very important role with the Hogia'r Ddwylan Choir don't you?

I'm the Choir's conductor and we have singers from both sides of the Menai straights. The average age of our singers is around 40 to 45, so we're a relatively young choir. There are quite a few stylish men in the choir and they know what suits them.

As the choir's conductor, is it important your clothes to compliment theirs?

It's very important that I match their outfits because there's nothing worse that seeing a conductor in an orange dress and the men wearing red bow ties. The idea is that you give the audience something pretty to look at. I'm more of a dress person than anything else but I don't like anything that's too fussy or to busy. I like colours such as black, navy blue, dark purple - earthy colours.

Where did you buy this wonderful black and white coat?

This is a Karen Millen coat and there's quite a story to this one. My mum and I went to London last summer and went for dinner at a restaurant near the Ritz. We sat down and mum said to me, "There's a man sitting over there, I know who he is and he can't stop staring at us". Then the waiter came over and said, "There's a gentleman in here asking what you two ladies are drinking?" I ordered a Chablis and mum had an orange juice. Half an hour later the waiter came back and said, "The gentleman is asking again if he can buy you another drink?". I said yes, that I'd like Chablis but mum said "I'm fine thank you; I can't drink any more orange juice!" As we were paying and getting ready to leave, we asked if it was the man that was staring that had been sending us drinks. And mum was right, it was Alan Sugar! So I guess this coat caught his attention that night!

When it comes to the choir, are you a superstitious person?

I'm quite superstitious about some things. If the choir doesn't win a competition, I won't wear the dress that I wore to another competition. I have quite a few dresses that I won't wear know because I wore them when we were unsuccessful. This sequined dress is one of the most expensive things I've ever bought but I never wear it because we didn't win at the National Eisteddfod when I wore it!

This bronze dress is very unusual, for what occasion did you buy this?

I bought this dress for a friends wedding. But I also wore it when my husband, Dewi and I went on holiday to Dubai to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We went to the Burj al Arab, the 6 star hotel, and an Arab came and sat down at our table. We couldn't get rid of him. He sat talking to Dewi mostly and when I got up to go to the bathroom he offered Dewi a couple of Camels for me!

This dress is quite different to the others that you have in your wardrobe, its short and has a pattern. For what occasion did you buy this dress?

This is a new dress and is something quite different for me. All my other dresses are plain, but this Karen Millen dress is patterned. I bought this to go to a ceremony at Bangor University where Desmond Tutu and David Attenborough were honoured. The choir was singing at the ceremony and as it was held in the morning it didn't seem appropriate for me to wear a full length dress.

How important are your clothes to you?

When I stand in front of a choir or class, I always feel confident as I know that I've dresses for the occasion. Standing in front of about forty men isn't easy, especially forty professional men that probably know more about more things than I do! But wearing a suit or a nice dress gives me confidence.
