Donna Flinn is no stranger to the stage and has performed in venues as prestigious as the London Palladium and the Academy Awards Ceremony in Hollywood.

As a youngster she appeared in Coronation Street. At 18 she was awarded “Best Female Singer” by Granada Television and landed a recording contract with MCA.Later, as lead singer with “Springfield Revival”, she appeared on shows such as Morcambe & Wise and the Two Ronnies, and toured the world with the “Osmond Brothers”.

Going solo as “Pussyfoot” she achieved a No.1 hit single in Australia and South America then joined the hugely successful “New Seekers” with whom she still sings.

In recent years she has appeared in various comedy revue shows. Donna loves comedy and did the comedy circuit in London and the Southeast as a stand-up comedienne for a year before writing Mutton with Julia and Jean as a TV pilot and stage show. She is now singing jazz!

Her first “Mutton-type” role was as Mrs. Banks in the Harry & Cosh series. Mutton is the second comedy show she has co-written. The first, with Donna Jones, entitled "It’s Not All Glamour" successfully toured fringe venues in London and the Southeast but at a time when Jean was still tied to bringing up a young family. Now with her daughter, Laura, well established as Mysti in BBC1’s new Saturday morning children’s show and her son at university, Jean is able to devote her time to her passion: writing and acting comedy.
