Valerie Anne Lawrence

Valerie Ann Lawrence (AKA Valeryan) was lead singer with the famous UK pop folk band The Settlers in 1976 and the young girl who brought the English language version of Plaisir d’Amour (My Love Loves Me) to the singles charts a little while earlier, while still at school in Surrey. After leaving The Settlers she followed a solo career on the International cabaret circuits until the mid 80’s when choosing to “retire” from the professional music scene to bring up a family, never intending to return. After her family were grown up she started writing and singing again.
