Join singer, songwriter and storyteller Louise Jordan for a performance of songs and stories to celebrate the inspirational lives of some of history's lesser known women. Having toured across the UK and Europe since 2010, Louise became focussed on telling hidden women's stories in 2015 with her one-person touring production 'No Petticoats Here: extraordinary women of the First World War'.
In her new show, audiences can expect to learn about some of history's often overlooked pioneering women alongside anecdotes from Louise's varied life on the road as a solo performer. A former history teacher and youth worker, Louise has written songs for UK Parliament and the V&A Museum, appeared in UK Vogue, given talks for the National Trust, University of Oxford and Hampshire Police. The thread that underpins all of Louise's work is her desire to challenge existing narratives around gender and power.
