The 30-year-old jazz saxophonist from Norwich was sectioned at the age of 18. She has poured the torment she endured into a track called Bruises. "People with mental health problems get a lot of bad press, but we are trying to promote a positive image," she says. ——————————————————————————————————4/7—— Drink champers by the Magnum 108 CITY NEWS p500
