This much I know: Carol Anthony, singer

I’m the youngest of nine. Not one of them is in showbiz!

I’m very business oriented. Before I became a singer, I had my own clothes shop, Havana, with outlets in Roches Stores in Dublin and also in Cork. But then my business partner moved on and I couldn’t handle it on my own.

Fashion buying is a very tricky business. You want to be in the know big time, all the time. You have to predict what’s going to sell. I was only 20 or so, and I found it very tiring although I loved it.
