The long and winding road has led me back here to my blog. After a good few months I have finally finished my first novel, 'One Night In Crapham'. Phew! It is quirky tale about a delusional woman who after just one singing class on holiday, really believes that she has a gift, a beautiful singing voice. Once home, she does what feels right and starts a band made up of locals from the town and just one professional musician, drummer Vince, who in the eighties played with Ten Pole Tudor. After just three months, as self appointed band manager, she has to secure their first gig. After a run of disappointing rejections from the local pubs and clubs, she gets a slot in the county maximum security prison, Crapham. Of course, it doesn't all go to plan.....
Writing it was easy, now the hard bit is getting published. So as I sit and wait to hear from a couple of agents, what better way to pass the time than enjoy performances from a few fellow delusional singers. The characters in One Night In Crapham have lived me for a while now and as a thank you to all the people in the world, who like me, haven't the best vocal range, I am posting these fabulous clips from X Factor and American Idol. If you have the inner strength and stamina to watch all eight, you'll love my book. Wish me luck......Enjoy!
