IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL LLMMG ATTENDEES

We are hopeful that our October meeting will take place as planned, although it will – of course – be dependent upon a favourable outcome during the next few months.

Thank you for your continued interest in our group. Wishing all our supporters well at this most difficult time, and looking forward to convening once again on October 4th.

The London Light Music Meetings Group was formed in 2014 to continue to hold the meetings which were formerly organised by the Robert Farnon Society.

Each of these takes the form of a Sunday afternoon event during which recorded musical items are presented and discussed; they are held in May and October of each year.

The range of music genres is broadly as before embracing Light Orchestral, Film, TV and Theatre - related, Big Band and similar material.

The previous successful format is retained with a central feature/guest speaker and includes live performances from time to time.

We have now expanded this website to include news items, details of other musical events, CD and book reviews, and obituaries.

We welcome contributions in respect of any of the above, also comments and articles.
