Sue Wellington was born and raised in Wales. She has lived in the Boston area for the better part of the last twenty five years. Sue comes from a musical family and had a solid grounding in piano and string bass, but didn‚t start singing seriously until she realized she needed to balance her work life with a return to music. Since that time she has performed with many different choral groups and a cappella groups in the U.S. and the U.K. She has also studied and performed as a soloist in jazz and cabaret settings, and has performed in musical theater, most notably in a small scale production of "Chicago" in the U.K. where her godchildren (and their fathers) got to see "Auntie Sue" in fishnet stockings and garters! Classical highlights include concerts with the Berkshire Choral Festival in the U.S. and U.K., several seasons with the Harvard Radcliffe Chorus, and an Italian tour in the Venice area in 1998 with the West London Vocal Ensemble, a U.K. chamber choir. Sue started singing close harmony a cappella music with New England Close Harmony Ensemble (now Boston Jazz Voices) more than fifteen years ago. She still sings with BJV as well as with Fretless, a mixed a cappella quintet that took third place in the Eastern Regional Harmony Sweeps back in 2004. Fretless has had some personnel changes over the past couple of years, but hopes to be back in competition in 2008!
