Strike up the Band

for 2 hours
Elsdon: St Cuthbert
Centre of Elsdon village Elsdon Northumberland, NE19 1AA, United Kingdom

Thursday 1st October at 7pm

An illustrated talk on the lives, music and lyrics of George and Ira Gershwin, with musical interludes, by the always-entertaining Emma Anderson.

The talk is both a history and an appreciation, including George’s music, much of which the audience will recognise even if they don’t know the composer. Ira was a brilliant, Pulitzer Prize-winning lyricist, who collaborated with his younger brother George to create some of the most memorable English-language songs of the 20th century.
