Watching a comedy show in the outskirts of the city the girls sitting next to me says, 'Are you alone?' I detect a English accent. She tells me that she prefers to think of herself as 'solo'. Originally from Basingstoke, she is on a trip before starting work in Milton Keynes.
Taking the opportunity of companionship we go for a post-show drink in a local bar. The barman, with Irish roots, recommends we see some jazz at his favourite nearby joint. We do.
'This is so Chicago', she says as the saxophonist croons. Her middle name is after her great-grandmother.
