0Recorded Music Society: March Meeting
The March programme was delivered with considerable aplomb by Gill and John Phillips. The first half belonged to Gill, she opened with a track from “Les Miserables”, Delibes followed with “Csardas” from Coppelia and excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker”. Two dances “Cossack” & “The Can Can” completed the balletic routine. Two more pieces including a flute solo by James Galway and Peter Skellern and The Grimethorpe Colliery Brass Band concluded an enjoyable first half.
John took over the second half by reflecting the habit of the interval and played the “Drinking Song” from La Traviata. A sad song by Alison Kraus “Please read the letter” preceded “Espana” by Chabria, Billy Ekstein singing “Apologise”, Coppelia “Prelude & Mazurka” and Albeniz’s “Grenada”. John finished the evening with a very apt rendition of “Wont you come Home Bill Bailey” after which the audience went home! Many thanks to Gill & John for a most entertaining evening.
