The undisputed queen of Cambridge’s musical scene, Mary was in fact the inspiration for CantabTalent.com – her performances at Queens’ Candle Club and Ahobrase really stood out, with her catchy songs, amusing lyrics, and cheeky smile. I felt her musical talent needed to be recognised and promoted, and with the myriad other talents in this fine university, I came up with the idea for CantabTalent.

In addition to singing and writing songs, she was also Varsity editor in 2007, and worked on the Varsity 100 list of successful students (as well as deservedly being included in the publication).
