In the Year of the Woman, our summer concert this year had a theme to celebrate the achievements of the Suffragette Movement.  The programme focused on women poets, lyricists, composers, arrangers and songwriters and included readings providing an insight into the lives  of some of these amazing women.  Lorraine, our MD, put together an amazing programme with a wide range of pieces including Joni Mitchell  “Both Sides Now”,  Eleanor Daley “Lake Isle of Innisfree”, Eriks Esenvalds “Stars”, Jule Style “Don’t Rain on my Parade with the evening opening with the “March of the Women” written by the two suffragettes Ethel Smyth and Cicely Hamilton.    A truly inspiring evening with great feedback from an appreciative audience.
