  • Croydon Friends Newsletter
    CROYDON FRIENDS NEWSLETTER January 2016 Dear Friends, Our newsletter this month gathers together news of Friends sent in on Christmas cards or in letters and emails, which reflect our Meeting as a family community It also reflects our lives within the Quaker world, within our community, our Area Meeting, and our Religious Society as a whole. Gillian Turner “My grace is sufficient for thee”, 2 Corinthians 12:9 At this time of year, we are encouraged to believe that in order to achieve happiness and peace we should draw up a list of New Year’s Resolutions. As if by magic we will become fitter and stronger, more intelligent, give up a creeping sugar addiction, be much nicer and more helpful to Ffriends and family etc. Each year I find the list easier and easier to compile as one “benefit” of the ageing process seems to be a heightened awareness of my shortcomings. When designing advertising campaigns, the toxic bombs of guilt and shame are sometimes used in order to encourage our mostly fruitless attempts at so-called self-improvement. Businesses know that resolutions made at this time of year invariably lead to the need to buy goods and services which purport to help us to achieve our targets. Exercise bikes, subscriptions to improving publications, gym memberships and cosmetics are often marketed as the means to realise our dreams. Of course, thinking about a few, well-chosen, specific and achievable ideas by which to either increase self-esteem and/or help our fellows is no bad thing and can be done at any time of the year, without the purchase of items which will end up in the back of a cupboard or drawer.

  • Donald Swann Including Songs by Sydney Carter Sing Round the Year 18 CAROLS SELECTED and COMPOSED by Donald Swann Including Songs by Sydney Carter
    Sing round the year 18 CAROLS SELECTED AND COMPOSED BY Donald Swann including songs by Sydney Carter Sing round the year 18 CAROLS SELECTED AND COMPOSED BY Donald Swann including songs by Sydney Carter P 1968 Move Records move.com.au onald Swann will forever be popularly known as the musical half of the comic song writing duo Flanders & Swann; but the quintessential Englishness of that satiric output belies his exoticD roots – Donald’s middle name, Ibrahím, is a clue. Donald was born in Llanelli on 30 Sept 1923 into a family of amateur musicians, both parents refugees from the Russian Revolution. His upbringing was one of Russian folk song and four-hand piano reductions of the Russian and European Romantics. Donald Swann and Michael Flanders had been performing their own songs at cast read-throughs and private parties for some years often, as they would say “at the drop of a hat”; they gradually honed their material as a double-act. Their show, titled AT THE DROP OF A HAT, opened on 31st December 1956 and was an overnight success. A sequel, AT THE DROP OF ANOTHER HAT, opened at Theatre Royal, Haymarket in London October 1963 for a long run before reverting to its previous title for performances in Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. Over the next few years Donald compiled and performed hundreds of concerts; sometimes solo or often with different performers picked to explore the variety of his output. EXPLORATIONS ONE, with Sydney Carter, concentrated on words and music in a folk idiom. The show was later expanded, with the addition of Jeremy Taylor, into AN EVENING WITH CARTER, TAYLOR & SWANN which took folk music into mainstream theatres.

Audiences; auditions; digs; ENSA; Family Reunion;Joyce Grenfell; Listen With Mother; Manchester Library Theatre; matinees; musicals; repertory; revue; H.M. Tennent; theatre in the Round; touring (UK, Germany); Waiting for Godot; Nellie Wallace. EJ: Can you give me a general overview of your background in theatre, how you first started to go to the theatre, work in the theatre, if that's okay? DO: So, 1945 I think I was on tour in Germany with the revue. We toured around England and then ENSA took us, sent us to Germany and I was understudying a woman who was 50 years older than I was. And I didn't look like her, her name was Nellie Wallace and she was a great music hall star - filthy. When we went to Germany it was quite interesting because she didn't go down as well as she thought because she thought she could be as dirty as she liked, and the men didn't like her. The sergeants told us, 'oh no, they don't like that sort of stuff coming from a lady' - she wasn't really a lady. Then it was '46, I was on tour again in one or two things, and then I was so lucky - talk about being in the right place at the right time - somebody with whom I had trained before the war and with whom I'd just been on a tour rang me up one day and said, help, I've been summoned to an audition.

  • Flanders and Swann
    FLANDERS AND SWANN On the 25th April we were treated to an interesting talk and musical extravaganza from Kevin Varty on the work and music of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann. The talk whilst giving the history of the duo, concentrated on the music and lyrics and demonstrated the different types of songs they were known for by playing some including I’m a Gnu and The Gasman Cometh. It was surprising how topical these songs still are! Flanders and Swann met early in life when they both attended Westminster school. This is where they started their collaboration on a school revue called “Go To It”, Flanders wrote the lyrics whilst Swann wrote the music. When they left school they went their separate ways until they met again after the war in Oxford. By this time Michael had contracted polio and was using a wheelchair. They started to perform their own songs at private parties and to small audiences and were persuaded to open their own revue on New Year’s Eve in 1956 at the New Lindsey, a small theatre in Notting Hill. They called the show ‘At the Drop of a Hat’ - a musical revue that had no scenery, two grey curtains, a piano, a man in a wheelchair and a cast that had hired their suits from Moss Bros. This format was the one they were to continue to use until they stopped performing together in 1967. At the Drop of a Hat was so successful that three weeks later it transferred to the Fortune Theatre in the West End where it ran for 759 performances and was followed by another revue At the Drop of Another Hat.
