Bromley London, where our Jazz Band performsTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Bromley London, has been said:- " "One of the most famous stories connected to the area of Bromley-By-Bow is to do with Bow Bells. What makes it all the more interesting is the controversy that surrounds the location of the true Bow Bells which legend says Dick Whittington heard from Highgate Hill sometime around 1370. Rosemary Taylor, the historian, makes a strong case for the local church on Bow Road. Queen Matilda, the wife of Henry 1st in around 1110, was said to have been involved in an unpleasant incident when she was nearly drowned while crossing the old ford on the River Lee. She immediately ordered a bridge be built to save her from any such future re-occurrences as she was a frequent visitor to Barking Abbey. Local people no doubt prospered considerably as a result of this initiative and the bowed bridge gave its name to the locality, Brambles by Bow [Bridge]. " "You can't copy anybody and end with anything. If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music."~ Billie Holiday Click to Enter database [Jazz Bands in Bromley London for your wedding] [About Jazz Bands] [Ensembles in Bromley London wedding music repertoire] [About Bromley London] [About music in Bromley London] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About kinds of music such as classical, jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] | | |
