Songwriter, Lyricist, Writer, Photographer and Artist
From a love of writing stories, drawing, painting and singing and learning my trade via a dance band, rock group, solo entertainer, music producer, sound engineer and songwriter, going into 2020 and Lockdown, I was lucky enough to work alongside a local collaboration between BCBC and Awen Trust called Stronger Together Bridgend assisting with editing audio and making videos pertaining to all things creative. This then evolved into a monthly Podcast called, strangely enough ‘Claudette’s Pen to Paper’ and has recently evolved into Awen Trust publishing a book, compiled by myself and featuring 8 writers, chosen from members of Bridgend u3a, Porthcawl u3a and/or Bridgend Writers’ Circle. ‘Pen to Paper’ an anthology of stories and poems from all genres, will soon be available as a Kindle download on Amazon.
In between all my writing, I have returned to my love of song writing, working with local poet Kevin Bryant, adapting his poetry into lyrics, and then writing, arranging, and recording them. To listen to these and others go to my songwriting page on Soundcloud.com.
