breath-taking beauty. She now performers up and down the country doing what she does best, entertain!

You will be dazzled, wowed and transfixed all night long. Ruby is excited to be returning to Punk & Plume.

Being a choir leader, and having worked as a vocalist with over 20 Grammy winning artists – it should be no surprise that the bitch can sing!
