“What my Clarinet means to Me”
As we bump up against our 90th Anniversary (https://pottersbarurc.org/home/90th-anniversary-celebration/), one of the things we’ve missed in the last few years has been our “Music in My Life” evenings. And though Tony may craftily have disguised it as a Phoenix Evening talk , that’s just what Malcolm’s performance was for me.
Malcolm told us that he was given his first clarinet at the age of seven and a doting father had great expectations of raising a renowned Jazz musician, but Malcolm had gone his own way down a more classical route.
We got a bit of family history, an introduction to the clarinet as an instrument, and then Malcolm played for us. He played us some recordings of pieces played by professional musicians; played a duet with himself using a recording he’d prepared for the event, and played a number of pieces over backing tracks.
He sang, and when the music demanded he danced (well jigged).
Malcolm you are a star!
Church Dinner – 10th February 2024
Good company, good food (and plenty of it!), poems and some pretty disorganised singing. A most enjoyable evening.
