Summer Concert Gershwin Evening
2018-07-26 18:30 - 23:00
Words and Music That Transcend Time
George and Ira Gershwin will always be remembered as the songwriting team whose voice was synonymous with the sounds and style of the Jazz Age. But from 1924 until George’s death in 1937, the brothers wrote almost exclusively with each other, composing over two dozen scores for Broadway and Hollywood. Together, George and Ira Gershwin wrote the music for many shows and films. Some of their more famous works include “The Man I Love”, “Fascinating Rhythm”, “Someone to Watch Over Me”, “I Got Rhythm”, and “They Can’t Take That Away from Me”. In 1931, the brothers collaborated on the score for the Broadway show, “Of Thee I Sing,” which became the first musical to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Their now-classic folk opera, PORGY AND BESS (co-written with DuBose Heyward), is constantly revived in opera houses and theatres throughout the world.
To bring some special pieces of the Gershwin brothers music alive for this event we have local singer of the year Sarah Chidlow. Sarah began singing at the age of 11 years old in a small local theatre group, currently is a member of the Birkenhead Operatic Society Trust (BOST) and has performed in many of their musical productions. Most recently Sarah performed the role of Hope Hardcourt in ‘Anything goes’ which was performed at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton last year. In June this year she played Eliza Doolittle in the BOST production of a concert version of ‘My Fair Lady’ which was performed in the concert suite of St. George’s Hall. This is one of many venues that Sarah has performed in and around the Liverpool area. She is a keen supporter of many local charities in the Liverpool City Region and has performed for many charitable functions.
The evening promises to be a real spectacle, book your place now!

John McClenaghen. Painter. Tuesday 26th June 2018 at 2:00pm
‘My work explores the phenomena of time and change within the landscape. I am interested in painting’s ability to relate experience by drawing parallels between the action of weather upon the land and the action of colour and mark upon the canvas. The main focus of my practice is in painting and drawing, something that began when I was a student at the Glasgow School of Art.

I tend to return to the same places again and again as I try to establish a relationship with the space through drawing and painting it over time.’

John McClenaghen studied at the Glasgow School of Art he is currently Programme Leader for the BA Fine Art, Photography and Film in the School of Creative Arts, Glyndŵr University.

2018-06-13 14:00 - 16:00
Guests will be treated to two films in Junes “Classic Film Group”
SAFETY LAST (USA 1922)
Dir. by Fred Newmayer.
Starring Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davies.
This is a silent film, with titles and a good music track, but it is EVEN NOW one of the funniest films you can see. Harold is a young man from the country, who goes to the Big City to make his fame and fortune, and ends having to climb up a skyscraper.

Also THE PLANK. 1967, UK.
A slapstick comedy following the misadventures of two builders who require a floorboard. Written and directed by Eric Sykes, it includes most of Britain’s top comedians at that time, including Tommy Cooper, Jimmy Edwards, Roy Castle, Jimmy Tarbuck and, of course, Eric Sykes.
Although not strictly a silent film, it is unusual in having little dialogue. Instead, the film is punctuated by grunts, other vocal noises and sound effects.
Apropos of nothing, the plank itself was sold at auction in December, 2011 for £1050.
