Event Details

In 2014 I saw a series of documentaries on the BBC calledย Voices of the Great War.ย  I was so enamoured with the stories told on these programmes that over a few quiet days that summer, I watched all the documentaries and wrote down every word the partakers said.ย  The programme was split into several sections, so I had to go back and forth to write down their testaments.ย  Following this, I was inspired to write their experiences down in verse and after that put those words into a Power Point presentation.ย  The first time I put this before an audience was 10thย November, 2018 in the Studio at the Hive.ย  The 2023/2024 non-civil war talks have a Worcestershire theme, so I am adding information to that presentation on Vesta Tilley, Woodbine Willie and Fred Dancox to meet the brief.
