Five miles in Tansy's shoes

  • Summary

  • You never know what’s behind a closed door. What story you’ll find. And in this podcast, the story of an unusual life. Raised a Seventh Day Adventist Tansy Mayhew had to fight against religious upbringing to explore her passion and become a singer. The family home was full of love, but also violence - Tansy's mother had a hair trigger temper and plenty to get cross about, with a disabled son, three daughters, and a peripatetic life. Despite the restrictions of a religion strictly followed by her parents, Tansy moved away from home and upbringing to pursue a life of passion and art. And at the age of 30, with no formal musical education she became the singer she'd always dreamed of being.  And then - an unexpected surprise. Tansy's life took a right hand turn when she became a single mother of Chanté who was both profoundly disabled and a vibrant spirit. This is their story.

    In memory of Chanté Wambu.
