  • The ELO Story
    The ELO Story Jeff Lynne was born in industrial Birmingham, England, on December 30, 1947. He grew up in the then- new Shard End City Council housing estate, a high-density residential development built on the eastern edge of the city right after the Second World War, with his parents Philip and Nancy.1 He had a brother and two sisters.2 Lynne’s grandparents in his father’s side were vaudevillian performers.3 More than thirty years later, Lynne would pay tribute to his birthplace in the ELO song “All Over the World,” which mentions Shard End alongside other cities like London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rio de Janiero, and Tokyo. Lynne was a Brummie, a nickname for those blessed with the notoriously thick local Birmingham accent.4 Brummie is shorthand for Brummagem, the popular West Midlands way of pronouncing Birmingham.5 Brummie also has an unfortunate alternative dictionary definition: “counterfeit, cheap, and showy.”6 The accent, which not everyone in the city shares, has even been described as representing the least intelligent dialect in the British Isles.7 Lynne grew up listening to Del Shannon, Roy Orbison,8 Chuck Berry, and The Shadows records.9 His parents did not always approve. About Roy Orbison’s “Only the Lonely” playing on the radio, Jeff said “[t]hey were complaining that it was too sexy, or something, but that voice just made the hairs go up on my neck.”10 At age thirteen, Lynne attended a concert by Del Shannon at Birmingham Town Hall, and from that point on dedicated his life to music.11 He noticed immediately that live performances

  • The Annual Bell Jazz Lecture 2012 ‘How Many of You Are There in the Jazz Trio?’
    The Annual Bell Jazz Lecture 2012 ‘How many of you are there in The Jazz Trio?’ Clare Hansson The Twentieth Annual Bell Jazz Lecture Delivered 22 September 2012 Waverley Library Introduction For the Twentieth Bell Jazz Lecture, in the year 2012, the Committee once again thanks the Waverley Library and the Friends of Waverley Library for their continued support, without which the presentation would not be possible. The Bell Lecture was initiated by the late Harry Stein to honour the contribution to Australian and the world’s jazz by some of our most prominent musicians. The Committee is delighted to have invited Dr. Clare Hansson to Sydney, as she is most certainly Queensland’s best-loved jazz musician and is regarded as Queensland’s First Lady of Jazz. However it wasn’t until the 1976 Australian Jazz Convention that Clare was inspired to pursue her improvisational piano skills. She began with a classical education at school and although she had some interest in jazz, her early career was spent in a more commercial style of music. Since that time she studied intensively and in the 1980’s became active with her own and other groups. She was the founder President of the Queensland Jazz Action Society and has backed a number of visiting overseas performers including Jimmy Witherspoon and Ernestine Anderson. Her subject chosen for a doctoral thesis was Marian McPartland, another jazz pianist, and she travelled to the United States to interview the lady personally. Clare’s music also inspired the Sydney poet Betty Briggs to write a tribute work which she called “Nocturne”.
