Signed: ……………………………………………. 3 Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been written without the generosity of many individuals who were kind enough to share their knowledge and theatre experience with me. I have spoken with actors, musical directors, set designers, directors, singers, choreographers and actor-musicians and their names and testaments exist within the thesis. I should like to thank Emily Parsons the archivist for the Liverpool Everyman for all her help with my endless requests. I also want to thank Jonathan Petherbridge at the London Bubble for making the archive available to me. A further thank you to Rosamond Castle for all her help. On a sadder note a posthumous thank you to the director Robert Hamlin. He responded to my email request for the information with warmth, humour and above all, great enthusiasm for the project. Also a posthumous thank you to the actor, Robert Demeger who was so very generous with the information regarding the production of Ninagawa’s Hamlet in which he played Polonius. Finally, a big thank you to John Ginman for all his help, patience and advice. 4 The Development of the Role of the Actor-Musician in Britain by British Directors During the Period 1960 to 2000.

Flanagan 2015 iii THE BRITISH WAR FILM, 1939-1980: CULTURE, HISTORY, AND GENRE Kevin M. Flanagan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2015 This dissertation argues that discussions of war representation that privilege the nationalistic, heroic, and redemptively sacrificial strand of storytelling that dominate popular memory in Britain ignore a whole counter-history of movies that view war as an occasion to critique through devices like humor, irony, and existential alienation. Instead of selling audiences on what Graham Dawson has called “the pleasure culture of war” (a nationally self-serving mode of talking about and profiting from war memory), many texts about war are motivated by other intellectual and ideological factors. Each chapter includes historical context and periodizing arguments about different moments in British cultural history, explores genre trends, and ends with a comparative analysis of representative examples.

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.

  • Fasc Facts October 2018
    Daily Sparkle CD - A Review of Famous Songs of the Past ‘Fascinating Facts’ October 2018 Track 1 My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean Although the song's origin is uncertain, its subject may be Charles Edward Stuart ('Bonnie Prince Charlie’). After the defeat of the Prince at the Battle of Culloden in 1746 his Jacobite supporters could have sung the tune in his honour. Thanks to the ambiguity of the term "bonnie", which can refer to a woman as well as to a man, they could pretend it was a love song. In 1881 sheet music for "Bring Back My Bonnie to Me” was published. People had been requesting the song at sheet music stores in the 1870s, and the song became a big hit. Mitchell "Mitch" Miller (July 4, 1911 – July 31, 2010) was prominent in the American music industry. Miller was involved in almost all aspects of the industry, working as a musician, singer, conductor, record producer and record company executive. Miller was one of the most influential people in American popular music during the 1950s and early 1960s, both as the head of A&R at Columbia Records and as a best-selling recording artist with an NBC television series, Sing Along with Mitch. Track 2 Dashing Away with a Smoothing Iron by Dws Chorale Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron is a traditional English folk song written in the 19th century about a housewife carrying out her linen chores. In 1973 the tune was used by the English composer John Rutter for the fourth movement of his Suite for Strings under the title ‘Dashing Away’.

Not surprisingly, Simpson is British, thus exemplifying the traditional national characteristics of self-deprecation and celebration of failure. The first point Simpson makes recalls one of the reasons François Truffaut gave to Alfred Hitchcock for what Truffaut notoriously saw as “a certain incompatibility between the terms ‘cinema’ and ‘Britain’ […] there are national characteristics – among them, the English countryside, the subdued way of life, the stolid routine – that are antidramatic in a sense.

JOHN GEALE PHOTOGRAPH RESONATOR NIPPER THE WATCH DOG TED NELSON WITH RECORDS 75 FOR YOUR INFORMATION I would like to thank all members for making our 40th anniversary so successful. Members who attended had a very rewarding time together. The AGM of the Society was held on September 26'“, 2005 at the home of John and Ann Hastilow. The only change of Office was that of Treasurer. Tony Airs having retired. Our President, Gavin East, offered to take over as Treasurer at this time. John Hastilow made everyone‘s eyes shine when he demonstrated three cylinder phonographs which he had for sale by tender. A Standard, a Triumph and an Opera. All three were in beautiful condition and excellent playing order. I would like to wish all members a Merry Christmas. Walter Norris, Editor SECRETARY’S NOTES This year with the 40th anniversary, has held special memories for long—time members and the event held at Sparks’ Museum at Rangiora was a fitting celebration. I personally, though relatively new to the Society, found the evening enjoyable with the reminiscing of members, the displays from past celebrations and the machines on show. The opportunity to wander through the museum and discover things of interest from long ago days, a real history of New Zealand and especially the area, was very rewarding. It is hard to believe another year has gone by and Christmas is almost with us, yet again.

  • A Review of Famous Songs of the Past 'Fascinating Facts
    A Review of Famous Songs of the Past ‘Fascinating Facts’ September 2020 Track 1 Bobby Shafto Bobby Shafto is an English language folk song. The earliest printed version is in 1805. No-one is quite sure who Bobby Shafto was. The Blaydon Aces Roly Veitch and fellow guitarist James Birkett joined up as 'The Blaydon Aces'. Their versions are quite traditional in style but the accompaniments behind the vocals are original with dialects quite natural and unforced. Track 2 Down At The Old Bull & Bush The Old Bull and Bush is a Grade II listed public house near Hampstead Heath in London which gave its name to the music hall song "Down at the old Bull and Bush" sung by Florrie Forde in 1904. Florrie Forde (1875-1940), music hall artist, was born on 16 August 1875 in Fitzroy, Melbourne. She first appeared as a singer in a vaudeville programme. On August Bank Holiday 1897, she made her first appearances in London at three music halls—the South London Palace, the Pavilion and the Oxford—in the one evening, singing You Know and I Know. Immediately booked for three years on the circuit, she never looked back. With clear diction, and a commanding stage presence, she had the ability to select songs with catchy choruses and to lead an audience in singing them. Her early successes included Down at the Old Bull and Bush in 1904, which became a music hall anthem. Other numbers that she made popular and recorded included Pack Up Your Troubles, It's a Long Way to Tipperary, Oh! Oh! Antonio, Hold Your Hand Out Naughty Boy, Goodbye-ee and Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly.
