To anyone musical who might be interested.

The following message that has been sent to all U3A groups has reached us. If you would like to know more about the book please contact Norman Edwards at the addresses given.

Book ‘Questions of Music’ ISBN 978-1-84728-090-9

Hi I am in Malvern U3A and have recently self-published (through Lulu) a book called ‘Questions of music’ It comprises author’s background intro. - selling Beatles records etc into the Liverpool and North Wales dealers during the Beatles boom in the sixties, then 101 Classical CD recital programmes each with its own theme/subject matter and usually a simple anagram or word game involved, notes and/or anecdotes on the items and finally some valedictory musical musings -occasionally controversial.
It was designed to assist in the compiling of recital programmes, provide ideas for such and add some extra elements. The book can be accessed on the net - just google Lulu, enter ‘questions of music’ in the search box and scroll down on the blue invitations and you can see the entire 101 title programme index It comes in at 275 pages £12-50 but I am discounting it to UK U3A members at £11-00 including postage and packing.
I am sure this will be of interest to members who run music groups. I append my details below
