In answer to requests from our u3a members, we have asked Rhiannon Parker, Fraud Protect Officer with the Economic Crime Team, Gloucestershire Constabulary to talk to us about fraud and how to avoid it.Speaker: Martin Hannant
Topic: : The History of Pantomime Dames
Martin’s talks all centre around comedy and entertainment in the 1940s to 1970s. This one is on pantomime dames. Arthur Askey and Stanley Baxter immediately pop into my head. How about you.? Did you ever shout “He’s behind you!” ? Expect a morning of laughs or wry smiles ?Speaker: Peter Gill
Topic: Musical Satire of the 20th Century
You may remember Peter from 2024 when he gave an outstanding talk on the flawed but momentous life of Jerry Lee Lewis, punctuated by splendid vocal and piano renditions of his music. This time Peter will shine a spotlight on musical satire. Who will we hear about?…Noel Coward ?; Flanders and Swan?; Tom Lehrer? Expect a treat!
