Daisy Amphlett
A hugely versatile professional actor, singer, musician, director, and musical director – Daisy’s first job in music was at the age of 17 as a musical director and has continued working in musical theatre ever since. She also taught singing and the piano, and many of her students are working in the West End today.
After graduating from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts she performed in multiple West End theatres, including at the Royal Albert Hall, where she had the privilege of singing with Alfie Boe and Katie Melua for Queen Elizabeth II. Soon after Daisy led a wedding band across the three counties and London, before hanging up her microphone in favour of a quieter life.
Some of her credits include ‘Matron Mama Morton’ in Chicago, ‘Eliza Doolittle’ in My Fair Lady, ‘Sally’ in Me and My Girl, ‘Hope’ in Urinetown and ‘Katie Brown’ in Calamity Jane. Most recently she played ‘Doloris Van Cartier’ in Sister Act under Jill Neenan’s musical direction, which Daisy describes as the role of a lifetime. She is delighted to be Singing Out for Mental Health as a proud advocate for singing as a tool for greater mental health and hopes to raise a lot of money and awareness for such a noble cause.

Jim Aldcroft
Jim’s love for singing began on extended car rides with his parents and two sisters, harmonising along the way. He went on to perform in many choirs, for weddings and charity performances before his corporate career took off.
After a 20-year hiatus from public singing, Jim returned to the stage in 2019, debuting as ‘CK Dexter Haven’ in High Society . This marked the start of a varied and fulfilling stage career, ‘Captain von Trapp’ in The Sound of Music followed and was recognised with a NODA Award for Best Male Performer for his portrayal of ‘Rod’ in Calendar Girls the Musical – a role that, ironically, didn’t involve much singing! Other standout performances include ‘Wild Bill Hickok’ in Calamity Jane, ‘Officer Lockstock’ in Urinetown and ‘Curtis’ in Sister Act.
Outside of stage work, Jim is a sought-after singer at private functions, has performed with Jill Neenan on several occasions for a variety of charities and corporate affairs. He is one of the most unassuming, likeable people in the business. Jim is currently the Chair of Vale Musical Society and passionately believes in everyone having the opportunity to sing and perform. Most recently played ‘Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks’ in Annie for the Florence Nightingale Hospice at Wycombe Swan, blending his love for performance with his support for meaningful causes, so singing out for mental health is a perfect combination.
