They have performed throughout the world in over 60 countries, in nearly every British music festival, have appeared multiple times on television and radio, and we are delighted that they will be joining us in Oakham to perform as part of our professional music series. Their programme will focus on the year 1918 with music by Bernstein, who was born in that year, collaborative performances of works by Hubert Parry, to mark the centenary of his death, and a performance of a suite of the best-selling recordings and sheet music from that year, especially arranged by the band’s leader, Simon Lenton. In addition, the band will treat us to a performance of an original work by the contemporary British composer Roxanna Panufnik. We are a community choir based in North Luffenham, Rutland.

Stuart Hayday and Mike Baumber will sing the comic songs of Flanders and Swann. Michael Flanders and Donald Swann wrote and sang over 100 comic songs, interspersed with comic monologues, such as The gasman cometh, the Hippopotamus and the Gnu. In the 1950s and 60s they were one of the most popular light entertainers.
Lastly two local poets, Martin Wyatt and Rob Ellks, will bring some of their lighter verse to intersperse these two local acts. This should be a fresh and fun-filled tour-de-force by some our local musical and wordsmithing talent.
