  • Summary

  • Get ready for a really wonderful edition of Rosebud, with the poet and performer Pam Ayres. Pam makes Gyles laugh and cry with the stories from her fascinating life. Pam paints vivid pictures of her childhood, growing up in relative poverty in a big family in an insular village in rural Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). All the family's food was grown in the back garden, there was no hot water, the family shared beds and the toilet was a bucket. She tells Gyles about the games she played, the first boyfriend she had, and about her first job. She tells Gyles about the joining the RAF, and how, through that, she began performing, and eventually got posted to Singapore. And she tells Gyles about being discovered and winning Opportunity Knocks. Pam's is a truly unique life, and in this interview she paints a compelling picture of a forgotten time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this. With huge thanks to Pam for this wonderful conversation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
