In Memoriam 2015 (Part Two)...

We continue on from Monday's post, remembering some notable Britons who sadly passed away during the last year.

In Memoriam 2015 (Part One)...

So, 2016 is fast approaching for most of us, but there are many who won't be around to see the New Year.  Here is the first of two posts remembering some of those Britons who passed during 2015.

Wishing You...

... a very Merry Christmas!  As usual, I can't let the moment escape without another musical offering from the season of goodwill.  Here is another classic...

I Believe...

With Christmas just two days away, we return to look at some more wonderful British seasonal hits of years past.  After the Glam Rock posts of last week, you will find these a little more sedate!

Tragedy in Lancashire...

Today, the 21st of December, will always be remembered for the terrible tragedy that occurred in 1988, when Pan Am flight 103 was blown apart in the skies over Lockerbie, Scotland.  A total of 270 people lost their lives due to a terrorist bomb.

However, this incident overshadows two more tragic events.  What is particularly sad is that the disasters occurred in the county of Lancashire, no more than 30 miles apart.

When the Snowman Brings the Snow...

Keeping with the musical sentiments of the Christmas season, here is an offering of a slightly different kind..  Drifting away from classical and traditional fare, I thought it would be good to post some more modern tunes; tunes that have become just as familiar as carols in the UK at this time of the year.

On the River Cam...

... lay the beautiful King's College.  Founded in 1441 by Henry VI, it is a constituent college of Cambridge University.  One of the most notable features of the college is the chapel, which is a superb example of late Gothic English architecture.
