English soprano singer Lesley Garrett preforms at Clonard Monastery in west Belfast in 2012. Garrett was born in the town of Thorne, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire into a musical family. She attended Thorne Fieldside Infant and Junior Schools and Thorne Grammar School, where she performed in school plays and musicals and passed 10 O-levels and an A-level in music. As she grew up she inherited her family's love of music. Her grandfather Colin Wall was a classical pianist; her father Derek worked as a railway signalman and then as a schoolteacher at Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School, eventually going on to become a headmaster. They lived nearby just south of the village; her mother Margaret (née Wall) was a talented singing seamstress and became the school secretary at Lesley's primary school. She has two sisters, Jill and Kay, one step-sister, Louise, and two step-brothers, Robert and Nicholas. When Lesley was 17 she washed dishes at the officers' mess at nearby RAF Lindholme as a summer job. While a student at the Royal Academy of Music she worked as a life model, something of which she is still proud
