Lorraine Daniels joined the company in 1976 at the age of twenty-two, having been born in South Hornchurch, Essex, and educated at Chafford School.
When she joined the Company she was known as Lorraine-Dulcie Daniels, and appears to have started her show business career very early by studying ballet and tap-dancing at the age of three.
At sixteen she took a more serious step in the direction of a musical career. She was granted a special award by the Havering Local Authority to attend Trinity College of Music as a week-day junior school pupil (an unusual arrangement, as most junior pupils attend on Saturday mornings) and studied under Frederick Cox, O.B.F., former principal of the Royal Northern College of Music and at that time Head of the Singing Faculty at Trinity College. She came as a full-time senior student in 1972, continuing to study under Frederick Cox until 1975, gaining ACTL in piano and LTCL (Performers) in singing
She also won the Elizabeth Schumann German Lieder competition in 1974.
