Pip Burley presents a Study Day: The Golde Age of Song, and Swing into
Morning Session ‘The Golden Age of Song’
Two pioneering composers of popular song Richard Rogers and Hoagy Carmichael
A tribute to the lives, words and music of two men who made a unique contribution to the Great American Songbook during the first half of the last century. Come and enjoy their beautiful songs – as fresh and inspiring today as they were when they were first written – and hear about the lives of these musical geniuses who cast their spell on us all.
Afternoon Session ‘Swinging into the Sixties’
The 60’s was a time a time when popular music was in a state of great flux – ‘rock and roll’ had arrived, putting the big bands out of business and with no intention of going away!
During that time Pip worked as a keyboard player with bandleaders like Sydney Lipton, Joe Loss, Ken Mackintosh and Claude Cavalotti, as well as performing his fair share of rock ’n roll including - even - a concert with the Beatles.
About Pip... Pip Burley began his career as a musician playing with the big bands in the 60’s and 70’s, including Sydney Lipton, Joe Loss and Ken Mackintosh. He went on to compose and record music for commercials, theatre, film and television.
