Catherine Terry presented the BBC children's show Playdays, and was the football crazy girlfriend of Jacko in the sitcom Brushstrokes - but also has a string of stage musical credits to her name.

She also acted in the 2008 summer drama season at Sheringham Little Theatre using her tap dancing skills and comedy talent to tackle roles ranging from a musical set on a battleship to a farce.

On Saturday, May 18, Ms Terry is back with her show An Evening of Music and Song, which she says is a "chocolate box of musical treats."

It will be a mix of standards, jazz, folk, musical theatre, comedy and anecdotes drawn from her experiences, which have included appearing in a Royal Variety Show and working with well-known names such as Diana Rigg, Ruth Madoc, Adam Faith and Anita Dobson.

"I love the intimacy of theatre's like Sheringham, which lends itself to 'front room chat' atmosphere I like to create for this show," said Ms Terry, who is supported by talented pianist Jay Taylor.

Shows featured include Cabaret, West Side Story, Les Miserables, 42nd Street - where she was in the original Drury Lane cast in the leading role of Phyllis Dale.

Catherine's career received an early boost when she won a national student drama award and landed a role in Hello Dolly alongside Danny La Rue and Lionel Jeffries.

She has also appeared in Cats, Gipsy and toured with the New Shakespeare Company, which included performing while shots were being fired in Jordan.

Her other TV credits include Casualty, The Bill and 2.4 Children. Ms Terry has also done cabaret all over the world, is a drama teacher, presentational speaker and in her spare time is a trained florist and maker of chocolate bouquets.

"The key to success in this career is having more than one string to your bow." she said.
