Details Dates/Times & Buy Tickets
Masters of social observation through the medium of music, Michael Flanders and Donald Swann were the biggest musical comedy stars of the 1950s and 60s.
 
British tenor Kim Begley and composer David Gaukroger have teamed up to recreate the work of this iconic duo for live audiences to enjoy once again.
 
After a triumphant debut in Ludlow last year, Kim and David return with those familiar and favourite songs, plus others from the Flanders & Swann collection. In the same vein, David has written another new song, in addition to the three unveiled last year.

Kim Begley joined the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden as a principal tenor and in six seasons sang over thirty roles, as well as major roles in the finest opera houses around the world.

David Gaukroger appeared as pianist and harpsichord with CBSO, BBC Welsh, Scottish Baroque Ensemble, and English Symphony Orchestra, and wrote England’s first National Diploma in Rock, Jazz and Recording Studies, with Robert Plant as Musician in Residence. David also co-created Romany Wood, for the official opening of Theatre Severn in 2009, performed by more than 200 local children and narrated by Timothy West.
