Talks

Our 2024 talks season is now over

Our last talk was on Friday 20th September in Crail Kirk Hall at 7:30pm when Tom Davidson gave a talk on James Oswald the Crail Musician.

In his talk Tom recounted, by words and recorded music, the extraordinary story of the Crail-born musician who, from humble beginnings as the son of the town's drummer, rose to become Chamber Composer to King George III and master of one of Britain's great stately homes.

He was an avid collector, publisher and composer of music and, it has been argued, may well have written the music for God Save the Queen.  Tom Davidson is a retired journalist currently working on a book about Oswald.

Tickets cost £5 and include tea/coffee/soft drink.

We hope to hold a similar season of talks in 2025.
