Our lives as musicians – Adrian and Jane Smith
Mon 26 October at 2 pm, Abbey Baptist Church
As musicians Adrian and Jane have worked in most concert halls, cathedrals, arenas, stately homes and recording studios in the country. They have travelled widely with orchestras and pop groups, and have encountered many famous people on the way. They have worked alongside people from Shirley Bassey, Rod Stewart, Yehudi Menuhin, Andre Bocelli, Jason Donovan, Neil Diamond, Lesley Garrett, Elaine Paige and Nigel Kennedy – to name but a few! They have appeared in feature films and television programmes such as Downton Abbey and Mission Impossible. Over the years they have accumulated a wealth of amusing, and sometimes surprising stories which they can tell from first hand experience. They bring their instruments with them and intersperse their anecdotes with relevant music.
14.00 Reading u3a, Abbey Baptist Church, Abbey Square, Reading. Non-members welcome, free entry.
