Kerry talks to West End Frame about being back in the studio with Brian, playing Beth in War of the Worlds and plans of touring again next year...

If 14 years ago someone told you that in 14 years time you would have played some of the most iconic female roles in the West End, recorded an album with Queen legend Brian May and completed two UK tours with him, what would you have said? 

Well I always used to say to myself you have to dream big. I have been very fortunate with the things I have achieved and I am still dreaming big.
