In my dreams I was always in some vast landscape on a long straight road. Driving. Always driving. Gwenda had always loved the open road but her home town of Newcastle didnt really offer the sort of adventure she longed for. So in 1957 with friend & fellow nurse Pat in tow she left the dismal British winter behind & embarked on an amazing American adventure. After a year nursing in Cleveland Gwenda Pat & three new friends set off on a road trip around North America driving in a rickety 1949 Ford. What follows is the charming true story of five remarkable young women. Over the course of eighteen months the girls go to a 4th July rodeo visit San Francisco & Las Vegas learn to surf in Hawaii spot movie stars in Hollywood & celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Wherever they go the travelling nurses cause a sensation. This is a delightfully nostalgic memoir of friendship & the romance of the open road. ...

I was only sixteen when I bought an electric guitar & joined a b&. A year later I formed an all-girl band called the Marine Girls & played gigs & signed to an indie label & started releasing records. Then for eighteen years between 1982 & 2000 I was one half of the group Everything But the Girl. In that time we released nine albums & sold nine million records. We went on countless tours had hit singles & flop singles were reviewed & interviewed to within an inch of our lives. I've been in the charts out of them back in. I've seen myself described as an indie darling a middle-of-the-road nobody & a disco diva. I haven't always fitted in you see & that's made me face up to the realities of a pop career
