Mar, Jane and Mich also performed at Lfest in 'Why did I kiss that girl?' an Edwardian music hall cabaret show devised by Jane and Fran Jackson (left) of the Swan Vestas with songs based on the cross dressing characters from Sarah Water's novel Tipping the Velvet. We were also joined by Mar's amazing magic ball! Wellies not part of the act.
