The Booming Lovelies at St Albans

Hello Poetry Lovers

Yes, the Booming Lovelies made it to St Albans, kindly invited by Ver Poets. We had been looking forward to this reading for some time.

St Alban’s library had a terrific performance space and it was nice to see Stephen Claughton again, and to meet Mark Randles face to face.

A little nervous in an intimate space, we performed our set to a great audience. The crowd were receptive and enthusiastic. Not a Julie in sight, so that was a relief!

It was our new show and we appreciated the support.

After a short break, we had a joy of poets performing at the open mic, including the vibrant and prolific Dennis Tomlinson.

We were moved and touched by how many poets bought our books, and we were energised by the support we were given.

We finally let Stephen and Mark go home, and sought substenance at Bakers & Baristas, a local cafe.

Julian, Trisha’s husband, is on the right, who had kindly brought Trisha and Sharron. (Took them home too, natch).

Meanwhile, I did some sightseeing and explored the Tesco Metro before heading off myself, tired but happy.

Thank you, Ver Poets, for such a terrific day.

We can’t wait for our next show at Cranleigh Arts Centre on 12th May. We hope to see you there. Booking link below
