Think your fifties isn’t the time to start something new? Jude Adams doesn’t agree…
Hearing my song on the radio, I could burst with pride. Like most singers on the scene now, you might think I’m a fresh-faced twenty-something – but I’m a 57-year-old from Kent. I’ve worked at gyms and in health clubs – and now, I’ve released my first album…
Growing up, I loved to sing. But I was too shy to join a choir or a band, so I sang in my bedroom. I’d close the door, turn up the volume on my record player and sing along to Dusty Springfield and The Beatles.
Aged 18, I went to university, where I studied sports. But while my friends would sing along to songs on the dance floor, I’d simply clap along in the corner.
After graduating, I got a job in the fitness industry running a gym. And over the years, I worked my way up, becoming the head of HR for a chain of health clubs. But my love of singing was still a closely guarded secret – that is, until I met my partner, Marg, in April 1999, and we moved in together.
