  • 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.

  • Breaking Boundaries Learning Is Everything, Everything Is Learning
    Issue: 11 Breaking Boundaries Learning is Everything, Everything is Learning Date: Friday 22nd March 2019 Dear Parents/ Carers, Welcome to our Newsletter edition 11 of this academic year! As we near the end of March and the end of the spring term the year seems to be speeding up and passing faster each week. Our lovely Y6 students are moving ever closer to their Key Stage 2 tests and they have our admiration - they are working really hard and keeping their smiles and sense of reality too. We have Easter Classes for our Y6 students - a really good way for them to come in, do some fun learning with their friends and our Teachers to make sure they keep the momentum of their progress over the 2 week break. It also takes the pressure off families making sure students revise - instead they can do it here at Greenside with us! Please see the details below or catch up with Daniel Mahara if you have any questions. We are delighted to make the Y6 Head Girl’s & Boy’s latest project come alive. They were very keen to encourage even more of our students to read even more books for pleasure - and none of us would argue with that! We hope by now your daughter/ son has brought home a sponsorship form and we’d love them to combine a reading fest with raising money for charity. Students should have started their Reading Adventure already and have a couple of weeks ​ ​ to read as many books as they can. On Monday 1st April we will be enjoying a Greenside Read together in the afternoon as our final sharing.

  • Shakespeare on Audio (CD, Vinyl & Cassette)
    Shakespeare on Audio (CD, Vinyl & Cassette) Historical Recordings & Anthologies Shakespeare recordings have been in evidence from the earliest days of the wax cylinder, through the short-playing 78 rpm shellac discs of the 1930s and the long-playing 33 1/3 rpm vinyl discs (LPs) and reel-to-reel tapes of the 1950s, to the widely available audio cassettes, compact discs (CDs), videotapes, and digital recordings of the present. Before Orson Welles’s innovative Mercury Text Records series issued by Columbia Records in 1938, no one had attempted to record full-length audio versions of Shakespeare. Previously only isolated passages from the plays had been available, performed by fabled stage actors such as E.H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, Herbert Beerbohm-Tree, Ellen Terry and a few others and recorded between 1890 and the First World War. Between the wars, Hamlet’s “O what a rogue and peasant slave…” and “How all occasions do inform…” and Macbeth’s “Is this a dagger…?” were recorded on 78s by such stars as Henry Ainley and John Barrymore, and included with other famous soliloquies and educational intent on Johnston Forbes-Robertson’s two-disc How to Speak Shakespeare (Columbia, 1928). These recordings existed almost entirely for the purpose of preserving a famous actor’s reading of a set speech. The custom of recording speeches and brief duologues by great actors, although partly a matter of technology and packaging (a speech can fill one side of a 78 rpm disk), reflects a cultural reality as well, an attitude toward Shakespeare that sees his plays as predominantly a collection of purple passages and wise saws.
