ODDS & SODS

Lil Warren and Lindsey Hood


Listen Later

This fabulously interesting and wide ranging episode is with Coventry-born (and one of the few women in the UK who is a fully qualified Helmsman) Lindsey Hood.  

We recorded, on location, on the Grand Union Canal as guests on board Lindsey's narrowboat, Seresha. We hear how the life of a boater "happened" and interesting tales of living and working on the water. 

An eclectic chat about rock n roll, growing up in the city of Two-Tone, bringing up a child on a narrowboat,  life as a Continuous Cruiser and the move to being a skipper. Lindsey also tells us about her Scottish and Northern ancestry, her Great-grandfather's Music Hall career (as Felix Burns) and her Grandfather's life as a violinist and how her family ended up in Coventry.
