SUMMARY:From the Pips to the Proms: How The BBC Began - T425
DESCRIPTION:In November 1922\, the BBC began with a news report\, read twice – once fast\, once slow – making the BBC’s second ever broadcast a repeat. \nBefore that\, a few plucky pioneers brought us wireless concerts\, via feuds\, fires and breakdowns on- and off-air. \nAfter the BBC’s launch\, the innovations continued. One woman penned the first drama and later became the first TV chef. Another woman left her teaching job to become the first children’s presenter\, but returned to the classroom a week later. \nHear their forgotten achievements retold via tales\, clips and props. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin… \nPlease note that this talk is an updated version of the afternoon talk given to the Institute in February 2025

SUMMARY:The Ciderhouse Rebellion - WE007
DESCRIPTION:GI Music Lounge\nMagical in-the-moment music from a virtuoso duo. \nThe Ciderhouse Rebellion\, the original folk improvisers\, are violinist Adam Summerhayes and accordionist Murray Grainger. Every performance they give is a spontaneous act of composition –  music created entirely in the moment\, never to be repeated. \nThe pair specialise in creating music in the moment\, based on traditional tunes or their own compositions – often springing from a single note\, key\, time signature\, or emotion. It’s this unusually improvisatory focus that is uniquely magical. Their quest is to create music with no conscious thought between conception and playing – always searching for the unexpected and the possibility to create a deep sonic narrative that transports the audience. \nBoth Adam (violin) and Murray (accordion) are recognised virtuoso musicians in their own right\, touring the world as professional artists. Although the pair only started working together in 2020\, they have already released 9 celebrated albums\, been featured on Folk on Foot\, scored a BBC Radio 4 play\, and played significant festivals across the UK and Europe. \nAudiences across genres consistently describe being carried and transported\, often calling their shows the best concerts of their lives. Whether in concert halls\, folk festivals\, or intimate spaces\, the reaction is the same: complete immersion. \n“Their innovative and spontaneous performance style has sparked a trend that has seen other artists within the folk scene adopting a similar no-safety-net approach to music-making.” At The Barrier \n‘Beautiful’ – Songlines \n‘Gorgeous stuff’ – BBC Radio 3 \n‘Compelling\, exciting\, and utterly original’ – Phil Beer of Show of Hands \n \nDoors/licensed bar open 7pm \nMusic 7.30pm (with interval) \n \nThis event is sponsored by Andertons Music Co. \nOur GI Music Lounge events are held as fundraising events for The Guildford Institute.
