Join Maria Lovelady & Michael Alan-Bailey as they chat to author Alison Child about her journey discovering the forgotten 1920's variety theatre double act Gwen Farrar and Norah Blaney. Together they barely disguised the secret of their lesbian partnership which was to endure across three decades against all the odds. Singing the popular love songs of the day to each other both on stage and off, we discuss how our heroines lived creative, turbulent and daring lives full of all the sparkle we have come to expect of The Bright Young Things. Alison reveals which Hitchcock blonde kept her best jewels in a teapot! Have a guess who and then listen to find out...
