The Booming Lovelies ….

Hello Poetry Lovers

Another triumph for the Booming Lovelies at Cranleigh Arts Centre on Wednesday night.

The above pictures are us rehearsing like mad last week at the Arts Centre.

With 40 plus tickets sold, we were a little nervous. We had a big audience indeed.

Armed with our souvenir booklet, we were ready to take on the world..(I think!)..

Seated in the immaculate green room upstairs, we tried not to be nervous as we heard people arriving one floor below!

Facing a whole room of people will always be unnerving but once Trisha kicked off with the marvellous Cold Soup and The Joy of Sex, we began to relax.

I was on next with Beryl the Peril, my first ever idol, then Sharron read her fantastic piece The Tree-Lined Village Square. A great favourite of my guest and companion for night, Peter St James.

This is a montage of us performing. Also the corridor at the arts centre which, when full of nerves, seemed terribly long. And I got in a shot of our books which literally went like hot cakes!

This is me with my pal Peter just before the show. How I would have loved a stiff pre-performance G&T but I was driving. Bore! So I had to make do with sparkly water.

Thank you, Sharron and Trisha for including me in The Booming Lovelies. A unique experience.

We Booming Lovelies look forward to performing at the Guildford Institute on 13th May. Watch this space!

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back with more poetry antics real soon…..
