Spotlight On … Alison John
I’m Alison and I’m the brunette Siren Sister. I became fully enrolled in the sisterhood in January this year, which has been most exciting. I trained as an actress and worked as a performer for about seven years. When I’m not wearing my Siren wig, I run my own company called Yello Brick and we make street games, roaming theatre and digital experiences.
I’m in love with vintage – particularly 1940s and 1950s clothing and hair styles. I’m often found scouring charity shops and ebay for vintage bargains but there is a danger that my wardrobe is going to collapse under the weight of the dresses that I have squeezed in there over time!
I spend my spare time in the garden, listening to music, reading and I have to admit to being a closet box-set watcher. This year I have started growing vegetables in the garden – I have harvested green beans, broccoli, radishes, lettuces, peas and one stumpy carrot! I’ve just discovered Lennon and Maisy, a sister singing duo, who are just truly amazing and I can’t stop listening to them. Any box set and book recommendations are always welcome.

I saw and heard you girls in Cardiff Bay earlier this year. I like vintage (and earlier) too. I knew a lot of the songs you were singing because I had been doing care and companionship work with older people until recently. I like the freshness that you give to the songs and your jolly (ever so slightly tongue-in-cheek) role playing. Hope to see you perform again when I am next in Wales.
Love that you are so into vintage Ali! But not surprised.
