New Spoken Label Podcast - Amanda Crundall

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Poetry / Spoken Word Podcast) features making her debut, Amanda Crundall.

Amanda advises she "began to write again in January 2022 after her friends urged her to write down how she was feeling as a therapeutic outlet; so she did. She has rediscovered her creative self, amongst being a busy mummy and working life. Amanda works as a full time heart failure nurse specialist and is a single mother to two amazing children. Surprising many of her friends how she finds the time amongst such a busy life remains her best kept secret. You can find Amanda performing at her local spoken word events at Speak Out Scunny, The Confessional, Away with Words. Her debut performance was at Yada Yada Noise in February 2022 to whom she is more than grateful to; a special shout out to Alice & Mickey. She now proudly co-hosts 'Rabbiting On' spoken word group held at 'The Rabbit Hole' Independent bookshop, Brigg alongside poetry babe and partner in poetry Amy Garratt. Her poetry was featured in The Scroll Magazine during October 2022. In 2023, Amanda performed her poetry at The Festival of Love, D31 Art Gallery, Doncaster and Scunthorpe Pride on behalf of the Speak Out Scunny. She co hosted the spoken word stage at the No Limits Festival 2023 held at Normanby Hall, Scunthorpe. More recently, Amanda has taken to the radio waves and has featured both pre-recorded and 'live on air' for Phoenix Community Radio, Goole. Without this outlet and the support of friends and family, life would be a much darker place.

This is her debut publication.
