ARMS (Aynho Recorded Music Society).
Our first meeting of 2017 was hosted by Lee Simmonds and what an entertaining evening of nostalgic music he gave us! The programme was an eclectic mix of old favourites plus some lesser-known works. All were carefully researched and interspersed with amusing background and anecdotes from Lee’s long association with the music industry.
The programme kicked off with Calling All Workers and the Warsaw Concerto. It then branched out into works by Wagner (Bridal Chorus), Bizet (Torreaor Song) and Beethoven (Hallelujah Chorus).. Artists such as James Galway (Annie’s Song) appeared alongside George Jones (He Stopped Loving Her Today), Dean Martin (Return to Me), Nat King Cole (I Remember You) and Matt Munro (Walk Away). A really comprehensive selection! There was something for everyone in the programme and this enjoyable evening was also supported by a number of new faces from Croughton and we hope they will come again. Thank you Lee.
At our next music night Keith Morgan will be the presenter.
