WHISTLING KEYS: Sheila Harrod, 78, is part of a duo with renowned concert pianist, professor Mark Briggs
Sheila started whistling at the age of 13, when she would sit in her bedroom playing 78rpm records on a wind-up gramophone, she was transfixed by the music of whistler, singer and yodeller Ronnie Ronalde, who was world renowned in the 1950s and 1960s.Having heard her whistling, Sheila’s parents showcased their daughter’s talents at a working men’s club and she has never looked back.
“In the 90s, I performed on the James Whale show and a young lad who was the runner said. I am going to have my own show and you’ll be on it. A year later I got a call from him, that lad was Graham Norton and I appeared on his show.”
