  • Film, Television and Video Productions Featuring Brass Bands
    Film, Television and Video productions featuring brass bands Gavin Holman, October 2019 Over the years the brass bands in the UK, and elsewhere, have appeared numerous times on screen, whether in feature films or on television programmes. In most cases they are small appearances fulfilling the role of a “local” band in the background or supporting a musical event in the plot of the drama. At other times band have a more central role in the production, featuring in a documentary or being a major part of the activity (e.g. Brassed Off, or the few situation comedies with bands as their main topic). Bands have been used to provide music in various long-running television programmes, an example is the 40 or more appearances of Chalk Farm Salvation Army Band on the Christmas Blue Peter shows on BBC1. Bands have taken part in game shows, provided the backdrop for and focus of various commercial advertisements, played bands of the past in historical dramas, and more. This listing of 450 entries is a second attempt to document these appearances on the large and small screen – an original list had been part of the original Brass Band Bibliography in the IBEW, but was dropped in the early 2000s. Some overseas bands are included. Where the details of the broadcast can be determined (or remembered) these have been listed, but in some cases all that is known is that a particular band appeared on a certain show at some point in time - a little vague to say the least, but I hope that we can add detail in future as more information comes to light.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

    The Old Mill Times Patron: Garry Lawrence All the news and views from the Online bookings: oldmilltheatre.com.au/tickets Old Mill Theatre for AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2017 Playlovers at Old Mill Barry Park at the helm! HE WOO-ED Old Mill audiences earlier this year with his production of Noël Coward’s Design For Living and now Barry Park is back with another show. Barry is directing Other Desert Cities for the currently-homeless Playlovers, who are filling a gap in the Old Mill’s 2017 schedule. Written by Jon Robin Baitz, Other Desert Cities is a richly satisfying fine- tuned balance between comedy and intense family drama. The 2012 Pulitzer Prize-winner examines the lies we tell to protect each other and the damage they cause. The Wyeth family Christmas holiday erupts when daughter Brooke arrives bearing a soon-to-be-published memoir, dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history — and it’s a wound they don’t want re-opened. “In the play, interesting developments and gradual revelations build steadily towards an unexpected and totally satisfying twist at the end,” Barry said. “The dialogue is intelligent, with hilarious, witty comments contrasted with razor sharp, sarcastic banter that verges on outright warfare at times.” Other Desert Cities plays at 8pm August 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 with 2pm matinees August 6 and 13. Tickets are $20, $15 concession – book at www.trybooking.com/QGYV Laughs aplenty with Wife After Death A SECRET life will soon be exposed at a funeral and the bombshell will cause tempers – and ashes – to fly.

  • An Introductory History of British Broadcasting
    An Introductory History of British Broadcasting ‘. a timely and provocative combination of historical narrative and social analysis. Crisell’s book provides an important historical and analytical introduc- tion to a subject which has long needed an overview of this kind.’ Sian Nicholas, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television ‘Absolutely excellent for an overview of British broadcasting history: detailed, systematic and written in an engaging style.’ Stephen Gordon, Sandwell College An Introductory History of British Broadcasting is a concise and accessible history of British radio and television. It begins with the birth of radio at the beginning of the twentieth century and discusses key moments in media history, from the first wireless broadcast in 1920 through to recent developments in digital broadcasting and the internet. Distinguishing broadcasting from other kinds of mass media, and evaluating the way in which audiences have experienced the medium, Andrew Crisell considers the nature and evolution of broadcasting, the growth of broadcasting institutions and the relation of broadcasting to a wider political and social context. This fully updated and expanded second edition includes: ■ The latest developments in digital broadcasting and the internet ■ Broadcasting in a multimedia era and its prospects for the future ■ The concept of public service broadcasting and its changing role in an era of interactivity, multiple channels and pay per view ■ An evaluation of recent political pressures on the BBC and ITV duopoly ■ A timeline of key broadcasting events and annotated advice on further reading Andrew Crisell is Professor of Broadcasting Studies at the University of Sunderland. He is the author of Understanding Radio, also published by Routledge.
