Just an ordinary gal! As Claire TalyBont I was Inspired to write as the "party scene" in North Wales became really full on! Started SPACE in November 1999 after visiting Open Mic nights in Manchester and wanted to provide something similar up in Gwynedd. Rob in the Blue Sky wouldn't have us so we went to the George bar in Normal College Bangor until Andrea threw (literally) someone's dog out. That was the end of that little venue!!  We went to Clwb y Felin where Gerry was our friendly host…...SPACE (The Society for the Promotion of Artistic and Creative Expression) was free to get into.  People provided equipment and it was a stage for poets and musicians to perform.  We blagged raffle prizes from businesses in Bangor (Thank you!) and the raffle profits were shared between those who contributed equipment…WIN WIN WIN!
Regular stars of the show!

'Love it Courts, Hugs xxx' - Mum

Singer and Songwriter, CarolAnn Barrows has been singing since the day she was born. Her name, translated from French means “Song of Joy and Grace.” As a child she was always singing – at home, in school choirs and in church. She sang as an angel in a Christmas play and thereafter many audience members would praise her work by saying, “She sings like an angel!”
Now gratefully making her home on Maui, Hawai'i, CarolAnn is a fourth-generation Seattleite with six albums to her credit. She has performed in all of the great Seattle venues including the Paramount, the Fifth Avenue, McCaw Hall Opera House, the Intiman Theatre, and the Key Arena.

Dynamic, progressive, volcanic soul.
