Pam Ayres - The Works: The Classic Collection

Product Information

Pam Ayres was born in Stanford in the Vale, Berkshire (now administered as part of Oxfordshire), the youngest of six children (having four elder brothers and a sister) of Stanley and Phyllis Ayres. Warm and witty, direct and droll, the sharply funny Pam Ayres has been amusing and entertaining her many fans for years.

With nature details interwoven throughout the story, and an information page at the end, including fun facts about otters. While at Smiths, Ayres began performing at a local folk club, [7] and this led eventually to an invitation to read on BBC Radio Oxford in 1974.The Chalke History Festival announces a new name, new look, and tons for history buffs to get their teeth into!

Her reading of her poem The Battery Hen [8] was re-broadcast as Pick of the Week on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, leading to a six-month contract with Radio Oxford. Since then she has published six books of poems, toured in a one-woman stage show, hosted her own TV show and performed her stage show for the Queen. Her humorous observations of daily life touch a chord with anybody who's ever been bewildered by the exercise craze or has yearned after the vanished Spotted Dick. And then I started to go the local folk club, which is where I used to listen to all this wonderful folk music I'm so keen on. Pam Ayres, one of Britain's best-loved entertainers, personally presents this audiobook which brings together two of her solo stage shows with live audiences.

So I had a few poems, and I wrote a few more, and I used to stand up and recite those in the folk club, and as a result of that, anybody who was organising something charitable in the area tended to say "Would you come along too, Pam, and give us one of your famous poems?
