At local concerts she would recite well known monologues such as ‘Albert and the Lion’ by Marriott Edgar and famously performed by Stanley Holloway. She then started to write her own and having been born and brought up in Maghull Liverpool she found it natural to write in the Lancashire idiom.After moving to North Wales, Olive served for many years, as a Community Councillor and Youth Leader in Gwernymynydd.In 1981 she was employed by BBC Local Radio based in Mold as an interviewer and presenter on the BBC Radio Clwyd morning programme. Sadly the station no longer exists on air, but there is a tribute website to Radio Clwyd at this address: http://657khz.co.uk/. Olive retired in 1993.view less
