Shannon in the Northern Echo

This story about Shannon Hart came about from an enquiry from the Northern Echo who I think sniffed the story out from our `Billy Elliot` programme. Shannon has since been given lots of attention from The Gazette and Radio Tees too. This is a lovely photo Shannon but I am misquoted. I did not say that “One day Shannon came up to me and said….” This implies some pushiness on Shannon`s part and there was none. We got into general conversation about her arm one evening when I was giving her a lift home from a STARE gig and in no way did Shannon ask for our help.
