Music in Our Time

Group Leader: Steve Prosser.

Music holds the key to many of our memories. Join us listening to the music that accompanied our lives as we grew up; the music on the wireless, on the television, at the cinema or the records that you chose to buy and play. After listening to the music, we often share interesting facts or memories of seeing the artists live.

Each monthly meeting is devoted to a particular theme, artist, composer, genre or instruments. We include jazz, pop, musicals, classical, folk and rock and typically span the 1940’s through to the mid 1980’s. Videos of artists/groups are projected onto a large screen so there is always something to look at while we are listening to the songs. Meetings last around 2 hours including a 20 minute break for refreshments. We meet at the Webheath Village Hall, Heathfield Road, Webheath, B97 5SQ (just down the road opposite Biddles convenience store). There is a small charge of £1.50 to cover room hire and refreshments.

Recent themes covered include; film music, folk music, the sound of woodwind instruments, songs my dad would sing, songs with first names in the title, songs with acoustic guitar introductions, a musical adventure into space and Christmas songs through the decades.

Suggestions for future presentations are encouraged from members (ideas for themes, songs or artists - you do not have to present unless you wish to - and help is always on hand to prepare the presentations).

New members are always welcome.
