200410 Programme (Digital) ST JOHN PASSION LIVE APRIL/MAY 2020 Produced by POSITIVE NOTE and OXFORD BACH SOLOISTS INTRODUCTION As coronavirus swept the world, and concerts everywhere were cancelled, we realised that Good Friday 2020 might very well be the first without a sung live Passion since the middle ages. So Positive Note and Oxford Bach Soloists set about assembling an all- star cast for a St John Passion ‘from isolation’, the first instalment to be premiered on YouTube on Good Friday. With many musicians suffering during these challenging times, it seemed only right that this special concert be held in aid of Help Musicians UK, a wonderful charity who do life-saving work. Our thanks go to all the performers, technicians and administrators who have given their time and considerable talents to pull this all together. And of course to you, our audience and friends. Thank you for your continued support of the arts, and for any donation you can make to Help Musicians UK.

Chris and Dan have been collaborating since they met at the Royal Academy of Music in the 1990s. Jeremy and Dan were first brought together by Oxford Lieder for the smash hit YouTube film of Erlkönig. They went on to make a shadow puppet film, On Wenlock Edge, which Jeremy edits live during live performances of the work. JEREMY HAMWAY-BIDGOOD is a puppeteer and puppet-maker. He is artistic director of Pangolin’s Teatime, which makes puppet-based work for theatre, TV and film. Past credits include puppet and animation content for the BBC, Comedy Central, Matt Lucas’ John Stanley Productions, Passion Pictures, and the Oxford Lieder Festival. Jeremy also holds a practice-led PhD in puppetry, with a research specialism in pre-modern Japanese puppetry, and teaches puppet practice and theory to practitioners and students. CHRISTOPHER GOULD read music at Clare College, Cambridge and gained a scholarship to study piano accompaniment at the Royal Academy of Music. He won all the major prizes for accompaniment, including the Wigmore International Song Competition, the Gerald Moore Award, and an award from the Geoffrey Parsons Trust. Concert highlights have included recitals with Sarah Walker, Ann Murray, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, Roderick Williams and Geraldine McGreevy at the Wigmore Hall, St Johns Smith Square, the Purcell Room and on BBC Radio 3. Christopher has released several discs as both sound engineer and pianist, and his discography includes three recordings of Britten songs with tenor Daniel Norman OXFORD BACH SOLOISTS Bringing together performers and audiences in an immersive experience of the complete vocal works of Johann Sebastian Bach.

He studied Architecture and Modern Literature at the Florence University, then in Rome at the European Institute of Design. He won the most prestigious international awards in the industry, and in 2007 he was nominated by the ADCI best Italian creative together with Alessandro Sabini. In that year Monsieur Jaques Seguela said of them: “I love these guys. they know that money has no ideas. Only ideas make money”. Self-taught artist. He started drawing by pencil at the age of 4, and never stopped. In April 2005 he started his career as professional artist, and for a distraction (he forgot to buy brushes) he then starts painting with his fingers, the powerful figurative results of his finger-painting technique can be considered unique in the world. Troilo dips his fingertips directly into jars of acrylic, black and ivory, and spreading color, definitely abandoning the “tools of art”. troilo54.com Front: Paolo Troilo “Il mio Vitruviano” (“My Vitruvian”) Acrylic on canvas painted with fingers in 2020. 2x2 meters.

Building on previous theories of banter, I suggest that the composite nature of the phenomenon can usefully be analysed within an interactional pragmatic model, such as that proposed by Lecercle (1999). Using this model to analyse various episodes of Pointless, I seek to demonstrate that banter is created within a dynamic interpersonal process.

  • Bert Tyler Moore Writer
    Bert Tyler Moore Writer Bert's stage play THE WINDSORS: ENDGAME will open at Prince of Wales Theatre this summer. The show is produced by Runaway Entertainment and stars Harry Enfield. Bert is currently writing and is a Consulting Producer on the second season of Britbox’s reboot of the iconic satirical show SPITTING IMAGE, produced by Avalon, after having worked on the first season. He is developing original projects with Various Artists Ltd, Working Title TV, Genial Productions and Noho Film & Television. For many years Bert was in a writing partnership with the late George Jeffrie, who sadly passed away in September 2020. Together, they created and wrote three long running series: THE WINDSORS, which was BAFTA nominated and returned in spring 2020 for its third series; cult hit PETE VERSUS LIFE starring Rafe Spall; and STAR STORIES which won a British Comedy Award and was twice BAFTA nominated. Bert and George began writing on the classic sketch shows BIG TRAIN and ARMSTRONG AND MILLER and have written sketches for countless others including SMACK THE PONY, HARRY AND PAUL, THAT MITCHELL AND WEBB LOOK and MONKEY DUST. The highlight though was surely creating the character of ‘Lord Hollywood’ for George Clooney on ITV’s charity DOWNTON ABBEY spoof. (They were not allowed on set). The pair wrote for a host of entertainment shows including THE KUMARS AT NO.42, THE DAME EDNA EVERAGE TREATMENT, SLAP BANG WITH ANT AND DEC, ALAN CARR: CHATTY MAN AND THIS IS DOM JOLY.

  • A Genealogical History Compiled by Norma Todd Cansler B & H Printing
    AR:MSTRONGS OF THE CATAHBA a genealogical history Compiled by Norma Todd Cansler B & H Printing and Letter Service Dallas 1969 Copyright, 1969, by Norma Todd Cansler Printed in the United States All Rights Reserved FOREHORD This compilation, incomplete as it is, assembles the largest collective body of information to be published to date on descendants of the Armstrong family of the Catawba Creek branch of the James River area in Colonial Virginia. It is hoped that others will continue the research in depth, adding to knowledge of the pioneer family as well as completing some of the lines. The volume addresses itself not only to descendants but to persons of other lines engaged in genealogical search. It seeks to record for present and future generations a collection of family letters, Bible records, newspaper clippings, court records of deeds, wills and marriages, and cemetery inscriptions. In some cases it will provide a glimpse of community life to those interested in the history of the particular localities. These are the facts as we have been able to ascertain them. How little they convey of the lives of those who have gone on before us. I am grateful to dozens of descendants who have shared information. In parti­ cular I 1Jould express appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth B. McAfee, Evanston, Illinois, for making available to me the unpublished genealogical journal of Rev. Samuel L. JvicAfee, D. D. (1841-1917-+). Mrs. J. H. Langford, Harrodsburg, Kentucky, who is descended from three of the children of John and Priscilla Armstrong, was very helpful in providing information on those branches.
