Our Team

IRENE BENNETTS – FOUNDER & DIRECTOR

Irene is an accomplished professional singer with over 40 years experience performing in various bands throughout Melbourne. For 20 years Irene has been involved in teaching students to sing and perform in both Primary and Secondary Schools. Her specialty is gathering large numbers to produce exciting mass vocal items.

In 2009 Irene decided to work with adults and established Sisters & Misters. The group now has 3 locations with well over 200 members

Irene's enthusiasm and dedication enables her to take Sisters & Misters to a high level of performance that sees them not only perform at community events but also at prestigious corporate and festival gigs.

Irene is very proud of the community she has built with Sisters & Misters. Under her leadership the group not only connects with other members but also with the wider community.

Irene has also performed as a lead vocalist with the Melbourne Mass Gospel Choir and is still performing with her band Double Fantasy.

Irene commands audience attention with her vibrant personality and larger than life stage presence. Her ability to involve the audience whilst leading the group guarantees a great fun filled performance.

LINDA THOMPSON

Linda grew up in county Victoria singing along to her Dad's music and developed her love for group singing by being involved in the school choir and various musicals.

Many years later she moved to Melbourne and in 2011 spotted Sisters & Misters winning their way through to the semi-final of Australia's Got Talent

Linda joined immediately and became an integral member of our high's section.

As time evolved Irene saw a wonderful potential for Linda to develop into a member of her teaching team.

Linda, along with Karen, offers fantastic support for Irene achieving the unique vocal sound of Sisters & Misters.

ROXY KING

Roxy King was a founding member of Sisters and Misters, joining way back in 2009. She has an extensive background in dancing, having performed for many years in high level competitions across the State. In addition, Roxy has performed both in bands and as a soloist. 

It was a natural progression that someone with Roxy's warm, outgoing personality and performance background would become a valuable member of the Sisters and Misters teaching team where with Irene and Linda she helps develop the unique Sisters and Misters sound.
