The 56-year-old was one of the first to join up with Ms Miller in 2022 after answering an advert that promised to turn older women with very little music experience into punk rock band members in just 66 days.
She said it was just what she needed after suffering with midlife and the menopause.
“It’s that idea that you become invisible and that people don’t listen to you any more,” she added.
“I was being talked to about pensions and retiring – and I really felt that’s not the end.”
Ms Berry had never been to a music studio before, but she was put together with a few other women and they formed Velvet Crisis the same day.
Just 66 days later, the band performed at a local music venue on International Women’s Day.
“I found that it just really helped with my memory and also my mental health – just being able to sing about what’s really frustrating you that day,” Ms Berry said.
“I’m still me but I feel so much happier.”
