An Evening With
" Flanders and Swann"
in aid of the
Family Holiday Association
(the holiday charity for families in need)
on Friday June 6th; 7.30pm
at Henrietta Barnett School Theatre
If this gorgeous weather holds
out we'll all be glad of something to cool the blood, so
on Friday June 6th we are holding a special
Evening with "
Flanders and Swann"
Michael Flanders and Donald Swann
wrote and performed over 80 comic songs together in the 1950s and 1960s, including:

songs to lead to Flanders and Swann videos on YouTube)
London Omnibus
(Big six wheeler, scarlet painted, ninety-seven horsepower omnibus)
and
The Gasman Cometh
(this is a video clip using animated Lego figures to illustrate the song!)
Michael Flanders was a resident
of the Suburb and a member of the Play and Pageant Union, and the duo used to perform
their songs for the Suburb before taking them to a wide audience.
Our Flanders and Swann for the
evening will be Michael Mates MP and William Godfree, who have raised over £100,000
for charity in this way and performed at the Royal Opera House.
The Family Holiday Association was
founded more than 30 years ago by Garden Suburb Theatre members Pat and Joan Laurance, since when they have helped over 100,000
parents, children and young people to have a holiday. Pat passed away in January
this year, aged 88, and we would like to dedicate this performance to his memory.
