She has also made many appearances on BBC Radio 4 including John Shuttleworth's show Radio Shuttleworth.

She performs solo shows under name of The Lorraine Bowen Experience and her songs are quirky, funny and often with a sense of kitsch.

You HAVE to hear Bicycle Adventure. The song evoke such positive feelings that you will seek out the discs right after hearing them.
