She was the joint leader of the Christian folk band The United Folk, that worshipped and witnessed together from 1974 until 1992 and in that time they released three albums. The United Folk were an inter-denominational band of Christian musicians, singers and dancers from the North East of England. They performed in a wide variety of settings including churches, concert halls, shopping centres, prisons and schools. The United Folk also had a successful visit to Northern Ireland in the late 1980's. The album, 'The Best Of United Folk 'includes sixteen of the group's favourite tracks from the three albums. This was released in October 1999. In Christian ministry, as deacon (1995), then NSM priest (from 1998) Sheila served in three different churches in the North-East of England. (i.e.St Luke Wallsend; St Mary Magdalene Longbenton and The Willington Team.) She has now retired from parish ministry to concentrate on evangelism and outreach events and have more time for her family.
Sheila has released three solo albums; 'Giving It All To You', 'Called To Serve' and more recently this year, 'If I Have Not Love I Am Nothing'. There are also two children's musicals to add to the collection, i.e. 'The Easter Story' and 'The Christmas Story' all accessible here free of charge. In addition to composing and singing her music, she has also written a vast number of Christian sketches, drama and school assemblies, which you can also download free on this website. She also enjoys visits to Folk Clubs in the North-East and Cumbria.
Sheila is happily married to Bob and they have three children, Sarah, Peter and Stephen (who designed this website) and three grandchildren.
All proceeds go to to charity at home or abroad.
 A message from Sheila :
"I am so grateful to my son, Stephen, for taking it upon himself to set up a website for me. Now that it's all done, I'm so very excited that the Christian messages which are contained in these songs, assemblies and dramas etc can now be bounced around the globe, without me even having to sing a note or speak a word. I find it all mind blowing! And I am so proud of him for his skill and vision. I hope you enjoy the website, which is constantly being updated with new material. God bless you,
Sheila |
