She then joined the trio Young Love composed of two girls and one boy. By joining this trio she was able to travel and perform all over the world, in places such as Greece, Iceland, the Far East, Cyprus and the Falklands, where they were one of the first acts down there after the conflict, and had to fly down their by Hercules Air Carrier. Whilst in the Falklands they performed in front of H R H Prince Andrew. They also went to Beirut where they performed with Jim Davidson at the British Peace Keeping Camp, and for this they were awarded a certificate of bravery for being on the front line.
