Searching in The Sun! The Story Behind the Greatest Songs Ever Written

Some songs seem to have a life of their own…What makes a song truly great? Is it a complex melody, or is it the ability to find something extraordinary in an ordinary moment?

The June Sherriff Talk explores the history of songs that have stood the test of time and asks whether they still write them like they used to.

Join us next Tuesday 23 June at 11:30 am
Booking is recommended.
