What song is important to you and why?
How did social history influence it and how did it influence other music?
Music holds the key to many of our memories so join us to share the music that has accompanied your life; on the radio, on the TV, at the cinema or records that you bought.
Recent meetings have included:
- A journey to rock music from The Beatles via Led Zeppelin to Green Day
- Memories of Newcastle concerts from from the 60’s and 70’s by Lindisfarne and Coliseum
- Great music festival performances
- Father & Son musicians
Knowledge of music isn’t needed; just sit back and enjoy listening to the music accompanied by projected visuals of the artists and concurrent events. Afterwards, we can discuss the music, share interesting facts or memories of seeing the artists live.
Meetings last about 2 hours.
At each meeting, we will listen to one member's choice of songs accompanied by interesting information about the performer, the song, the genre etc.
Our listening can range across genres such as jazz, pop, folk and rock and will span from the 1950’s up to modern day.
We meet monthly, on a date to suit most members.
