She was invited to compose a work for the first commemoration of Windrush Day in 2018 and created Psalm to Windrush for the Brave and Ingenious which was performed at Westminster Abbey and at the National Windrush Monument Unveiling on 22 June 2022. Shirley will be talking about the part her music has played in recognising the contribution of the West Indian diaspora.
Daniel Rachel (Opens in new window)is a musician-turned-award-winning-author. His first book, Isle of Noises: Conversations with Great British Songwriters, was a Guardian and NME Book of the Year. His 2017 book, Walls Come Tumbling Down: the music and politics of Rock Against Racism, 2 Tone and Red Wedge won the the Penderyn Music Book prize. He followed this in 2019 with Don’t Look Back in Anger: The rise and Fall of Cool Britannia, an Evening Standard and Metro Book of the Year. His latest book, Like Some Forgotten Dream: What if the Beatles hadn’t split up was published in 2021. Daniel will be talking about racism in the British music industry, the Rock Against Racism movement, 2 Tone and Red Wedge.
Alexander D Great (Opens in new window)(Alexander Loewenthal), is a professional musician and songwriter who has appeared on stage, television and radio in Trinidad, Dominica, Canada and the UK. Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, and brought up in London, Alexander began his musical career in the 1960s and rediscovered his calypso roots in the late 1980s. From February 2000 until July 2012 he was calypsonian-in-residence for the BBC and he was UK Calypso Monarch in 2010 and 2011. Alexander has also appeared on Britain’s Got Talent. He is Calypsonian in Residence for the Windrush Foundation, composing commissioned songs about people and topics pertaining to the Windrush story.

This is the story of the great lost Beatles album.

The end of the Beatles wasn’t inevitable. It came through miscommunication, misunderstandings and missed opportunities to reconcile.
But what if it didn’t end? What if just one of those chances was taken, and the Beatles carried on? What if they made one last, great album?
In Like Some Forgotten Dream, Daniel Rachel – winner of the prestigious Penderyn Music Book Prize – looks at what could have been. Drawing on impeccable research, Rachel examines the the Fab Four’s untimely demise – and from the ashes compiles a track list for an imagined final album, pulling together unfinished demos, forgotten B-sides, hit solo songs, and arguing that together they form the basis of a lost Beatles masterpiece.
Compelling and convincing, Like Some Forgotten Dream is a daring re-write of Beatles history, and a tantalising glimpse of what might have been.
