“I CAN’T remember a time when I didn’t sing,” laughs Frances McCafferty. “And I made my acting debut aged seven or eight, I think, in a church play. I remember it had the wonderful name, ‘The Dragon of Tangly Mountain’!”
It’s possible the then helpers at that church play had no idea what kind of talent they were nurturing – but Frances went on to sing and act in opera companies all over Britain – and beyond.
An elder for the past three and a half years and currently Joint Session Clerk for the Abbey Church of Dunfermline, Frances counts the church among her lifelong influences.
