The event is part of the national Being Human Festival<\/strong><\/a>, the UK’s only nation-wide festival of the Humanities, and brings together live music, audio clips, interviews and an interactive quiz, as Chris investigates the idea of nostalgia through words and music. Chris’ series of podcasts<\/a> explores the theme with interviews as part of his research, and the event next week will see contributions from some of those interviewed as well as performances from the University Chamber and Cecilian Choirs, the 1940’s dance orchestra General Harding’s Tomfoolery,<\/em> and instrumentalists. Music includes\u00a0Moonlight Serenade<\/em>, When I Fall In Love, The Pink Panther<\/em> and other corner-stones of memory throughout the generations.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Tickets are free (reserved in advance here<\/strong><\/a>),\u00a0 bring your dancing-shoes and join us as we take a trip down memory lane for what promises to be a night to, er, remember!<\/p>\n
