Ella Fitzgerald was one of the most celebrated singers of the twentieth century. From very ordinary beginnings, she rose to become one of the most famous performers of her time. Her style is unmistakeable, her diction and
vocal control unmatched, and her personality won her millions of fans worldwide.
We will learn about her life and, of course, listen to some of her recorded legacy.
What kinds of role can the performing arts play in times of national crisis?
The current struggles to keep the performing arts afloat, with theatres & concert halls closed, with huge unemployment and reliance on government bail-outs, beg many questions about the resilience and purpose of the arts in our lives.
This talk seeks to consider these questions through the lens of the Depression Years of 1930s America, with a focus on the extraordinary story of the Federal Theatre Project.
Tony Jackson is Emeritus Professor of Educational Theatre at the University of Manchester. His teaching and research interests have been primarily in educational theatre and modern British and American drama.
This talk will outline the history of the first garden city, from 1910 to
1920. From the process by which the town was established to focusing on some of the important early enablers, first industries and enterprises and the impact of the World War 1.

In this talk, arranged by the new Social History Group, Kate Thompson gives a fascinating illustrated account of history's evolving Poor Laws, forerunners of the modern welfare state. This fascinating system dates from the Black Death in the 14th century, with parts remaining on the books until 1967.
