Wendy is in the current series in Neighbours (in Australia). She play Lou's wife, Trixy. This is a semi-regular role.

I saw Wendy on "Neighbours" singing. I really like her voice. She sang a song which had the line "... for your soul momma" Does anyone know what it's called?

Any help would be great.
