Judith Weir was born into a Scottish family but grew up near London. She was an oboe player, performing with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, and studied composition with John Tavener during her schooldays. She went on to Cambridge University, where her composition teacher was Robin Holloway; and in 1975 attended summer school at Tanglewood, where she worked with Gunther Schuller.
In 2014 she was appointed Master of The Queen’s Music in succession to Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. In January 2015 she became Associate Composer to the BBC Singers. Much of her music has been recorded and is available on the NMC, Delphian and Signum labels.

Dr. Tom Mills - Lecturer in Sociology and Policy at Aston University, Birmingham
Before he joined Aston University in 2016, he was a researcher at the University of Bath where he worked on the ESRC funded project, 'Understanding and Explaining Terrorism: Expertise in Practice'. Whilst at Bath he also completed his PhD research, examining how the collapse of social democracy and the rise of neoliberalism impacted on the BBC's organisational structure and culture; work which forms the basis of his book The BBC: Myth of a Public Service. His work is centrally concerned with the ideas and practices of powerful groups and actors, and the social networks which influence policymaking.

Why medicine is about to undergo the biggest single change ever.
Medicine is about to undergo the biggest single change there has ever been. No branch of medicine will be unaffected. This is medicine focused on the understanding of disease at the level of the molecule and the design of therapies at the level of the individual patient. It is called precision medicine.
Professor Freemont is Head of Undergraduate Medical Education for Manchester Medical School. He is Professor of Osteoarticular Pathology at the University and previously held the post of Head of the School of Biomedicine.
We are delighted that this lecture by Prof. Tony Freemont, cancelled due to inclement weather in December last year, will now take place on this revised date.
Those of you still holding tickets for the original date, will still be able to use them on 10th March.
Tickets are now on sale, £10 – £8 concessions from Hebden Bridge Town Hall - or from HB Lit & Sci • The Birchcliffe Centre • Hebden Bridge HX7 8DG. Please make cheques payable to HB Lit & Sci • Tel: 07860 164422

PLEASE NOTE: This date has yet to be confirmed. It was for personal reasons Melvyn Bragg had to cancel his engagements in the spring; he hopes to be in a position to reschedule his visit to us for later in the year. We will keep you posted.
Melvyn is an author and broadcaster.
William Tyndale was born around 1494 in Gloucestershire and educated at Oxford and Cambridge University where he became a strong supporter of church reform. He was ordained as a priest in around 1521 and returned to Gloucestershire to serve as a chaplain to a member of the local gentry. Tyndale's controversial opinions began to attract the attention of the church authorities. ©BBC
