Paula was passionate about music and the arts. For much of her life she worked in arts administration and management, over the years this included live music, film and theatre. Most recently she was passing on her knowledge to the next generation through teaching at JB's School of the Entertainment Industries at Sheffield College. Paula loved attending gigs of many genres from obscure jazz in pub back rooms to rhinestone studded Dolly Parton arena concerts.
Youth Music is a charity that invests in music making projects for children and young people experiencing challenging circumstances. We chose this charity because Paula strongly felt that music and the arts should be accessed and enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their background.
We would love if in lieu of flowers if donations could be made to our chosen charity in memory of Paula.
