About this event
We’re delighted that Pam Ayres is returning to The Apex to talk about her latest book, Doggedly Onward – A Life In Poems, 1970 to 2020s, published in October 2024.
Pam has gathered her career’s work of poetry into this book, which traces the course of her life, and illustrates how her work has provoked laughter, and some tears, to people around the world.
Recent TV appearances include two series of The Cotswolds for Channel 5, This Morning, Alan Titchmarsh, Countdown and Would I Lie To You?
“Who doesn’t feel warm, sentimental, and downright good when they think of Pam Ayres? She’s a timeless talent and a glorious people’s poet.” - Glastonbury Festival 2022
“If people are fond of me, I am delighted, and I hope I have given a lot of people a laugh, as that is a great experience – to laugh!”
Starts: 7.30pm

It has been very well publicised (and we never tire of hearing it!) that, as well as its architectural beauty, The Apex also has the very best acoustics, with many musicians who've played here describing it as the best acoustic in the UK, if not Europe:
"Best new venue in the UK. Absolutely superb" - Funeral For A Friend
"Best acoustic wee had in 40 years of touring" - Fairport Convention
"The best hall we have ever played in" - The Escher String Quartet
