Description
William Godfree and Michael Mates have been performing the songs of Flanders and Swann since the mid 1990s and their 'Memories of Flanders and Swann' include, among many others, all of these much loved songs:
The Gnu
The Gas Man Cometh
The Sloth
Misalliance
Transport of Delight
Slow Train
A Song of the Weather
and - of course - The Hippopotamus
We are delighted that they have agreed to give their Memories one more outing for us on July 8th.
SUPPER:
As always here will be a buffet supper after the performance which, weather permitting, might even be served in the garden. Included in the price of your ticket.
William Godfree:
William is a composer, an accomplished accompanist , organist, conductor - and cabaret artist!
For the last 25 years he has enjoyed a fruitful partnership with the Hampshire MP Michael Mates. Mates and Godfree road-tested some Flanders and Swann songs at a fund-raising dinner at Farnham Castle in September 1995, and subsequently put together a full-length entertainment entitled ‘Memories of Flanders and Swann’ which made its debut in Winchester the year after. They have now performed the show some 35 times the length and breadth of the country.
