Synopsis All artists, including composers, are frequently urged to “write what they know.” Well, if that's the case, then any new and sleep-deprived parent can relate to music which depicts a late-night session with a new-born baby. It's the middle movement of a Piano Concerto that was given its premiere on today's date in 1994 by the Kansas City Symphony, with Bill McGlaughlin conducting and pianist Richard Cass. This new Concerto was by the Kansas City composer James Mobberley, who writes: “The piece is in three movements, each of which reflects a different emotional side of parenthood. The first movement represents the excitement and hysteria of forthcoming childbirth. The middle movement begins with amazingly soft moments following childbirth but leads into the period of sleeplessness and total chaos that inevitably follows. The final movement represents the wonderful fun and unpredictable interactions that start to happen, beginning with the child's first smile.” Composer James Mobberley was born in Iowa in 1954, raised in Pennsylvania, and balances teaching duties at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, with his composition work, which includes a wide range of concert and theatrical pieces, some combining electronic and live performing elements.

Welcome to my podcast, 'John Scott Lawton's English, You Know'. In this personal episode, I interview my 88-year-old mother, Muriel Lawton, about her experiences as a child growing up during the Second World War. She was evacuated, or moved, from the city of Manchester in England, to go to live with two families that she didn't know at first. In 1939, she was evacuated to Mobberley in Cheshire, just south of Manchester, which was then a perceived target of German bombers at the start of the war. When these attacks didn't come, she went back home to Manchester after just a few months, only to be re-evacuated the following year (1940) when Manchester, a large industrial city in the north of England, was indeed the target of a very heavy German bombing campaign. During this second evacuation, Muriel as a seven year-old child, lived with a vicar or rector's family in Rode Heath, again in Cheshire, in the countryside bordering Staffordshire, again to the south of Manchester. She stayed there for over three and a half years, only seeing her mother once during all that time. There are a couple of trigger warnings associated with this episode. First, my mother describes the distressing scenes that she witnessed as a young child following overnight bombing raids on Manchester, involving the discovery of dead bodies and body parts. These episodes prompted my mother's second evacuation to the perceived safety of the English countryside. Second, although my mother greatly enjoyed her own experiences of living with new families, other children were not so lucky, and we talk briefly about the fact that some children suffered abuse at the hands of host families; the children being made to work almost as forced labour by the people who were supposed to be caring for them. The purpose of making this podcast is to save my mother's stories for my children, her grandchildren, and indeed now her great grandchildren to listen to, in her own words and her own quiet voice, as she recalls her lived experiences from a very challenging time in our history as Europeans. Such reminiscence work is, I believe, vital in to order to keep these stories alive and to learn from the very challenging lessons of the past. A few years ago, my father-in law, now deceased, Sidney Witham, told his wartime stories as part of the BBC's written memories project, 'The People's War'. His story and that of his wife, Kathleen, can be found at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/73/a2799273.shtml (Sidney Witham) and https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/68/a2799868.shtml (Kathleen Witham).

At a time of political turmoil the results of this week’s local elections show people turning away from Britain’s two main parties. Both Labour and the Conservatives have lost votes to the smaller parties and the independents amid anger over the Brexit deadlock. So who would stand for election in this toxic environment? Nearly 9000 people in England and Northern Ireland have been elected as local councillors this week. We met one of them. 27 year old Charlotte Leach has become the new councillor for Mobberley in Cheshire. She’s unusual because the average councillor in England is a 59 year old white man according to a recent BBC survey. We found out what makes her tick.
