Q&A with Caitlin:

When you’re not singing (or cycling), where will we find you?

Hiking, drinking yummy coffee on a patio, colouring in postcards to send to friends and family.

Which opera character is most like you?

Susanna from Le Nozze di Figaro. Like me she believes love and goodness will always prevail, but always with a hefty helping of sass and chutzpah!! 

What’s the most embarrassing song on your phone?

Grace Kelly by MIKA. Sometimes you just need some happy Euro Pop to start your day 🙂
