Lorraine Bowen

Lorraine Bowen is a UNIQUE performer - once seen and heard - never forgotten! She plays cabaret venues, festivals, clubs and private parties. Lorraine will entertain any age with a set of original songs on her trusty Casio organ mixed in with self recorded backing tracks from her five self-penned albums. She links her songs with up-to-date surreal comedy; hilarious stories of her musical colon, bingo wings and burgers. She’ll have you in stitches in no time!

Get a PA together at your party, book Lorraine and make the occasion unique. Details on the BOOKINGS page.

Visit other parts of this website to see the extraordinary things Lorraine gets up to - like her wonderful show, Lorraine Bowen’s Polyester Fiesta! and the many Singing Workshops she does to inspire others to get going and have a blast!

Lorraine’s latest project is a show which will take place at the at The Nightingale Theatre in Brighton on 11th and 12th February.

It’s called Lorraine Bowen’s COMFORT ZONE.

She is delighted to be working with Theatre Producer, Faith Dodkins and the energetic, creative and wonderful chaps at The Marlborough Theatre who have secured some funding by the Arts Council to make this a really great late winter event.

The two nights will feature guests author Mick Jackson, film maker Kate Sullivan and multi instrumentalist Charlotte Glasson. Each of the three guests will bring a different world to Lorraine’s COMFORT ZONE.

Also in line will be ladies knitting lots of snug creations and a posture awareness slot leading to a more comfortable life. The show will come alive in a flat above the Nightingale Theatre near Brighton station.

It’s going to be eccentric, warming and a night of surprises so bring your friends and make an evening in a COMFORT ZONE!

You might have heard Lorraine Bowen on

BBC Radio 7’s Heated Rollers with

Lynda Bellingham and Gwyenth Strong,

where she wrote the theme tune and performed one of her hits each week. Listen out too for the John Shuttleworth radio series - the one with Wendy Craig, where she auditioned for Ken Worthington’s agency. 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 five albums later, she has never looked back.

SUBURBAN EXOTICA is Lorraine’s latest CD and contains 20 fabulous tracks - available from the SHOP page, Amazon, itunes and more!

The artwork and lyrics pages are great and much time and effort has been put in making a unique work of art (with each CD being numbered too) so do purchase the complete Cd for that complete experience.

Lorraine performs in the UK and internationally - SOLO shows and other original shows: Polyester Fiesta (www.polyesterfiesta.com), Lorraine Bowen’s Vital Organs, Lullaby and Suburban Exotica.
