Beverly Ann explains how a holiday meeting in Crete eventually led to her collaboration with Yvonne Galeni and the creation of Daystar.
The brief
Beverly Ann recalls finding her voice in Liverpool, where childhood competitions and local performances opened doors to television, theatre, and a life in music.
Mentors Hilda Fallin and Ken Dodd taught her that performance demands more than talent: it requires stagecraft, professionalism, and staying grounded.
She describes theatre as intimate and almost spiritual, while reflecting on Liverpool’s musical heritage and an unforgettable encounter with Ringo Starr.
A holiday meeting in Crete eventually led to pianist Yvonne Galeni and Daystar, a song blending pop, jazz, cinematic atmosphere, and imagined feeling.
Beverly Ann’s larger case is for persistence: meaningful creative opportunities can arrive later, and music can still tell stories, offer escape, and help people heal.
