Lorraine Bowen is a UNIQUE performer - once seen and heard - never forgotten!  She plays an entertaining set of songs on her trusty Casio organ (with its ironing board stand) and original backing tracks - from her four self-penned albums.  Linking the songs with hilarious stories of her colon, bingo wings and burgers, Lorraine mixes a kind of music-hall tradition with up-to-date surreal comedy. She’ll have you in stitches in no time!

Lorraine Bowen performs in the UK and internationally to anyone with a sense of kitsch and fun!  She enjoys strutting her stuff at cabaret events, pubs, clubs, private parties and festivals.  Lorraine loves entertaining an audience and prides in making every show unique.

Past shows include Lorraine Bowen’s Vital Organs, performed at the Drill Hall and the Green Rooms, Manchester, Bedroom Lullaby, performed in bedrooms across Brighton and she is now writing a new show called Suburban Exotica ready for her fifth CD of the same name out this year.

You might have heard Lorraine Bowen recently on BBC Radio 7’s Heated Rollers (where she wrote the theme tune and did sang one of her hits each week) and the John Shuttleworth series. 

They are being repeated all the time!

Lorraine Bowen was spotted by Billy Bragg at the Hackney Empire many years ago and after playing piano with his band across Europe, went on to help him improving his vocals on several albums.  Billy encouraged Lorraine to start up on her own with a couple of songs and four albums later, she has never looked back. 

The Crumble Song is Lorraine’s most requested hit and has been translated into several languages.  An Indian version,The Bombay Mix is a particular favourite and can be found on the Bossy Nova CD or MP3 available on itunes, Amazon and many more sites.
