In the past couple of years Kristy has become a fixture within the Coventry live music scene, picking up many fans and admirers along the way. She also plays gigs around the Midlands and beyond: "I absolutely love playing guitar, there's nothing else I want to do." Kristy has been sending her CDs off to people within the music business and is hoping to make a career as a singer, but she's fully aware of how hard it is to get people in the industry to take notice: "It's getting them to listen. You can knock on doors but you don't know if anyone is behind them."
