Musical Satire of the 20th Century by Peter Gill

Event type: Meeting
Date: 4th March 2027
Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Venue: The Kindle Centre

Peter explores the evolution of the comedy song in the 20th Century – from the songs sung in the trenches of the First World War to the genius of Cole Porter, Noel Coward and Tom Lehrer and on to the hilarity of Monty Python, Billy Connolly and Victoria Wood. The skill of the satirical lyricist will be identified and a choice selection of the songs performed. A 45-minute presentation with live music and visuals.
