The world was very different after 1918 and a concert in Garstang this month will explore how music was affected by World War One

Paul Mackenzie
Remembering Through Song

THERE will be many commemorations of the end of the First World War this year, but few of them will set toes tapping like the show to be staged in Garstang this month which charts the changes in popular music in the years around the conflict.

The concert, called Only Remembered, is being staged by Garstang Musical Productions and has been written by Phillip Bourne, who has returned to the group after a five year absence.

Phillip knows a thing or two about the past through his day job as a conservation officer for Lancashire museums, where he repairs and restores artefacts for display around the county.
