About me...
Miranda didn’t start playing guitar or writing songs until her mid-fifties, but she has more than made up for it since! She has recorded two CDs, ‘Petrol Station Flowers’ and ‘Lifting the Lid’, and published a booklet of song lyrics, ‘Late-Flowering Lyricist’. She performs in pubs, folk clubs and at festivals, and several of her songs have been played on local radio. Raunchy, romantic, poignant, humorous, Miranda’s subjects range from shipwrecks to stalkers; from the perils of punting to that awkward situation where you discover your lover’s name sewn into the back of his underpants…..
She is now establishing herself as a popular speaker, telling the stories behind the songs and delighting audiences with a light-hearted mix of words and music.
Frequent comments include: “It was so nice to be able to hear all the words you were singing”, and “We really enjoyed something that was a little bit different”.
About my talk/performance...
The standard performances are 45 minutes plus time for questions, but Miranda can adjust the timing to suit your requirements. They are about 50:50 spoken word:song.
Miranda plays an acoustic guitar, unplugged in small venues, or through an amplifier and with a microphone for larger ones. She can supply all the equipment, which is PAT tested, and she holds Public Liability Insurance.
From March to October Miranda is available mornings, afternoons and evenings; November to February, afternoons only. She will always consider a short-notice booking to cover a cancellation.
Fee:
Miranda’s fee for community groups of up to about 40 people is £40 + 30p per mile travelling expenses. For larger audiences and commercial organisations, please contact her to discuss.
She is normally prepared to travel throughout Dorset, Somerset, and Wiltshire. Please contact her to discuss the options for bookings further afield.
