x Welcome to the world of Heather Sweet.
Please make your way threw the Absinthe haze,
Don Rose tinted spectacles, and listen to this ladies story. Born into the land that time forgot (known as Burnley)
I was always daydreaming and hated school.
Though singing in a choir was a release from the drudgery of everyday life she grew ever more frustrated.
I was often in trouble for being opinionated and only really applied myself to lessons in life of some significance,
(Like drama and art) I went on to do lots of acting, gaining several medals in L.A.M.D.A and gained a National Diploma in Performing Arts before going on to a HND in Theatre practice.
It was while studying I came across Burlesque a medium that would change my life. While working at the RSC in Stratford Upon Avon I decided to go to Paris and met some wonderful performers. When I came back to the UK I visited the London Burlesque festival in May, and it was that summer I decided that I wasn't satisfied just watching- So I started to perform.
In October 2007 I held my very own night called.
