My Mum and Dad met at Tiffany’s. My Mum was a singer and my Dad auditioned for her band ‘Tony Ravell’s band’ and got the job. They were together 30 years. My dad passed away in 2004 and my Mum in 2023.
My Mum was the singer in Sunshine cake band - Shann Lee Parker
My Dad was Faith Browns drummer - Clem Lee
They went on to move to Kent, set up a band and the in the 90’s were a successful duo, gigging 7 nights a week . With my Dads talent (to self teach the keyboard ) was beyond aspirational (drummer by profession) and my Mums amazing vocals, they were the talk of the County! They then moved to Spain in 2003, and absolutely blew the locals away, unfortunately my Dad passed away unexpectedly during the height of their success . My Mum carried on alone with the support of musician fiends, but moved back to the UK and continued singing for another 10-15 years solo. I am so immensely proud of both my parents and miss them so much x
I don’t have much else, as a lot of our history was destroyed in a garage fire. I would love to know if anyone remembered them. Pippa
