Listen "Write On! Audio Weekly : A Listener Contribution by Allan Lochead"
Episode Synopsis
Thank you for listening to Write On! Audio, the podcast for writers everywhere brought to you by Pen To Print
Our October Listener contribution comes from Allan Lochhead, an engineer and actor from south London. Originally training as an engineer, the door opened to the world of poetry and drama when he attended a public speaking evening class run by the actor George Pensotti, at the Mary Ward Centre in London.
A long-standing member of Equity, Allan has sung in the choir and performed his own monologue, directed by the late Roger Lloyd Pack. He has also written a comedy, which was performed at the Actor’s Centre in London. He travelled around the country with Theatre In Education tours, was part of a successful Street Theatre company which toured the UK and abroad, and worked at the Millenium Dome for a year, with the Natural Theatre Company. The main influence for his poetry is simple: anything that moves him emotionally. He has had poems and features published in Woman’s Weekly, Woman’s Weekly Fiction Special and WriteOn! magazines and was runner-up in a poetry competition run by Westminster Council and judged by Andrew Motion.
