Time to talk

When she first volunteered to help out with the organisation of the park show she had no idea how much work was involved.

“I had taken a career break from banking and wanted to keep my mind ticking over,” said Michele.

“To say it keeps you very busy is an understatement.”

43-year-old Michele has a part time job at First Trust bank in Portadown and a full time job looking after her children - Peter (14), Leah (12) and Kathryn (9).

She is married to Phillip and they live in Dungannon. Michele’s mother Jean Mitchell grew up in Lurgan.

Michele is a former member of the Ulster Operatic Society, where she first met Peter Corry who will be playing an open air concert in the park on Friday night.

Michele’s hobbies include watching her son play rugby, cricket and golf and shopping with her two girls and her husband’s credit card!
