This was part of the festival and all about the jewish east end. the best thing was Vivi Lachs of the Klezmer Club. I wanted to take a picture or film but left the camera at home so this clip of Vivi singing 'My Whitechapel' will have to do.
The programme went on for over three hours. It included Bernard Kops- very over rated I think who overplays his hand of coming from poverty- who didn't when you were born in 1926? Then we had the obligatory lecture about Moseley which most of us know off by heart. Why is it we have to sit through lectures when the afternoon was supposed to be entertaining? If you go to a concert in the west end they do not preface it with a lecture on Wagner and Nazism so why we have to put up with this I have no idea- well I suppose I have but .....
Anyway the Klezmer Club were brilliant and Vivi is a great teacher and speaker!
And I keep forgetting this blog's objective- most of the events are free! This one even included free tea and pastries
