Goodnight to Flamboro by MARTYN WADE. With and ERIC PARKIN (piano) The composer
William Baines died in 1922 at the age of 23, leaving behind him a wealth of beautiful music. His pantheistic nature and love of his native Yorkshire countryside are reflected in his compositions, and his strength of character carried him through years of illness and lack of recognition. This play traces the most prolific period of his life when, against all odds and already ill with consumption, he lived and worked to the full, loved by his friends and supported by his devoted family.
GORDON PULLIN (singer)
Directed by CHERRY COOKSON
