Lou Fowkes

About Me

Join ‘Lou’s Rhythm and Blues Show’ on Thursdays from 7-9pm for a marvellous mix of blues, jazz, soul, gospel, funk and disco. Blended together with local info and her unique take on that thing we all call ‘life’, Lou is delighted to join the Cabin FM team, launching her show on the 8 December.

With a background in arts and entertainment, working on stage as an actress and singer and off stage as a director, producer and writer, putting together a two hour radio show is a bit like putting on a theatre production; it’s all in the storytelling… Lou is originally from Surrey but, together with her husband Rodger and son Sam, they upped sticks and moved to Whitstable back in 2011 and have never looked back. By day she is a Marriage, Family and Funeral Celebrant (www.kentcreativeceremonies.com) conducting weddings, renewals, baby namings and funerals. By night she is a vocalist touring theatres with her own show celebrating such sassy singers as Billie, Etta, Aretha, Gladys and Amy. When she’s not doing that, she adores walking her westie Bobbi along the seafront, and when she’s not doing that, she is cleaning the house!
