Louise Jordan performs at Hove House Concerts

Louise Jordan

At the very tail end of summer 2017, Louise Jordan gave us something quite different – an up close and personal performance of her stage show, No Petticoats Here, which tells the stories of individual women who made their mark in the First World War. Using their own words, sound effects, acoustic guitar, piano and snare drum, Louise wove a tale of bravery, determination, old-fashioned derrying-do and equally old-fashioned prejudice. It was a spellbinding evening. Find out more on Louise Jordan’s website.
