In April 1994 she got her wish and became resident in Heacham.
Some 6 years ago, Doreen retired early for health reasons and began to
write poetry. Doreen is well
known throughout Norfolk for entertaining a variety of audiences with
her homespun poems of nostalgia, nonsense and everyday life. Doreen is
often heard in village halls, theatres, on radio and private functions.

occasions whilst also maintaining a keen interest in fundraising
activities for the local surgery. |
Opal - A Variety Show
at the Corn Hall in 1987 to celebrate St John's Ambulance Centenary was
Opal's debut performance.
Soon they were topping the bill for both King's Lynn and Hunstanton's Mayor's Variety Shows at the Princess Theatre and many
other key Norfolk venues. Opal's Jenny Gray - whose repertoire
ranges from Operatic to Country and Pop - complements Brian
Brackenbury's popular keyboard and vocals which continue to be in great
demand. Brian's proudest moment was undoubtedly when he
won the "Our Life Award 2003" Award for Inspirational People 50
Years Plus in
the Entertainment Category for Norfolk. |
