Gaye was born and brought up in Bristol and began singing lessons at 13 with Margaret Thomas.  Gaye continued lessons privately whilst at St Luke’s College, Exeter .  A period of time working in London unfortunately curtailed singing and lessons so it was with great joy she was able to return to both when she joined Philomusica and began studying with Linda Parsons .
