 My
Story - Jeanne
Christie
After many years of singing on stage in different acts and
shows - can't HELP it, - ( IT'S IN THE GENES), as I come from
a long line of vocal entertainers, going back to DAME NELLIE
MELBA (an Opera singer) and VESTA TILLEY - ( who was the first
Music Hall act to dress as a man!!) I suddenly started to write
Spiritual- type songs.
Having written lots of pop songs over the years, I was quite
surprised by the first one, IT'S YOUR ANGEL which is about your
guardian angel.
 As
my son DAVID is a great keyboard player and have worked with
him on stage since he was 14yrs of age - he was a natural to
play all the instrumentation.
He started working with me in an act called DINAH and MITE,
during which a comedy spot consisted of me dressing in a grass
skirt and giving coconuts to volunteers- for which I was christened
the coconut girl!!
I had previously sung in LAWRIE ADAM'S Hawaiian Carnival show,
along with the rest of a band called Rainbow Bridge. Interestingly,
Lawrie is now a 'Very Reverend' clergyman at Liverpool Cathedral!
I had started out as a solo artiste using my middle name BEVERLEY,
but when my 2 daughters LISA MOLYNEUX and LORI HOLLAND left
bands that they were in (Studio 2000 and Missing Lynx ), one
by one, they joined our family group GENETIX, in which we appeared
on Les Dawson's Opportunity Knocks in 1990.
Our group has now grown to 10, as we teamed up with other 'ex'
band members of various groups from around Burtonwood and are
now called AVIT! Lori also' deps' in the ABBA Tribute Band -
VOULEZ VOUS - www.voulez-vous.u-net.com as does David occasionally.
The Spiritual songs, being a much different type of music to
my Tina Turner impression!!!!, it was natural to have LISA,
LORI and DAVID do the backing vocals. Also doing backing vocals
on IT'S YOUR ANGEL and YOU ARE MY KNIGHT is my sister SUE SYKORA,
who is half of the duo GLORY, who between them have produced
a brilliant and distinctive sound and write and record GREAT
Contemporary songs! The other half of GLORY, being her partner
DUNCAN SYKORA who has done a great job of the guitar parts.
For
whose time, input and TALENT, I'd like to thank all.
 The
song The ANGELIC INVOCATION ( Ee Nu Rah ) came about because
I h ad
read the words Ee Nu Rah, Ee Nu Rah, Ee Nu Rah, Zay Nu Rah and
that they meant - 'angels, I come to be with you'. I thought
it would be nice put to music, so have experimented with the
backing vocals myself, to represent angels singing, for which
YOU will have to judge for yourself if it has ' worked ', or
not!!!!
The latest song, ( watch this space) is a HYMN TO THE ANGEL
OF PEACE, which just ' flew off the pen'! ( hope it doesn't
sound it !!!!!!), would be nice to hear children's voices on
it, so I'm hoping to enlist the help of a school in Burtonwood!
I have always been interested in different religions and philosophies,
but even more so when 5 close members of my family passed over
within 5 years of each other. The most shocking being when I
lost my lovely sister CHRISTINE PARKER, to cancer when she was
just 40 yrs of age. ( She also sang and played guitar in a duo
with Sue, - they were known as the MODELLES )
 My
interest culminated in going to learn how to do THERAPEUTIC
CHANNELLING, which is similar to Reiki Healing, at the SEAN
BRADLEY ACADEMY- www.sean-bradley.com,
who has now set up the International TAU COMMUNITY ( check out
his beautiful web site) for people who would like to see a better
world! I owe much of my inspiration to him, and much to my long
suffering husband JOHN, who has always been my best supporter
AND soundman!!! In fact you could say that he's been 'THE WIND
BENEATH MY WINGS' aaaaghhhhh ( sorry about that one!!!!)
Many thanks go also to CAROL RENSHAW for her beautiful artwork- www.okapia.org,
to MIKE COOKE, for the great mixing of music,- www.aliverecording.co.uk and not forgetting SHANE EDWARDS, without whose help this web
page would not exist. - www.cyber-netservices.co.uk
A member of the family who is pursuing a serious career in music
is my nephew- SIMON POLLITT, a singer songwriter. Simon has now teamed up with Canadian Katie, and together they are doing great things -
