Biography
Janet Roddick is best known as a vocalist. She has sung jazz, opera, and classics from the songbooks of Kurt Weill and John Lennon. She can also channel the sounds of magpies, and the unearthly screeches of the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings. So it makes sense to assume her main contribution to Wellington musical trio Plan 9 would involve using her voice.
