Product Description

Writer, poet and broadcaster, Pam Ayres has been making her fans smile for more than thirty years since her first television appearance on "Opportunity Knocks". This recording is taken from four of Pam's live shows for her BBC Radio 4 series "Ayres on the Air", and is packed with her usual mix of comic poetry, prose and droll observations on life. Pam Ayres has recently been 'rediscovered' via her appearances on Radio 4's "Just a Minute", "That Reminds Me and Loose Ends", and "Ayres On The Air" has been celebrated on both Pick of the Week and Feedback. She regularly tours both the UK and abroad, performing to sell-out audiences. Here, Pam can be heard delighting her public on such topics as holidays, families, ageing and country living. With sketches about being "Topless at 60", getting shingles up the Orinoco and the joys of buying a tractor; and poems including "The Wonderbra", "Littering", "Poor Dad" and "The Voice at the Foot of the Stairs", this collection showcases one of the nation's most popular poets at her very best.

Ayres on the Air - Poetry
An excellent item, very good value and will provide my Father with a lot of enjoyment listening to one of his faviourite poets.

A good laugh.
I bought this CD for my wife, who is a Pam Ayres fan, and I don't think I could have bought anything better ( except a Rod Stewart CD).I have listened to it myself, and it is funny. Where she gets the ideas from I don't know, and how much is "true life for her" I can only guess. It's not all poems, and is a mix of stories told in her wonderful accent. I think we will buy more of her CD's, and will look out for her DVD's as well.
