@DavidCloke @Baerenreiter You should visit Malvern where Elgar lived. The Shaw Festival was held between 1929-39 Elgar dedicated his brass band piece, the Severn Suite (Opus 87), to Bernard Shaw as a token of their friendship

What an amazing place @OldStationSt is - so embedded in our cultural history !

[Save Station Street, Birmingham @OldStationSt]

Happy Birthday to George Bernard Shaw. One of only two people to win an Oscar AND Nobel Prize for Literature (Bob Dylan FYI). Station Street was pivotal to many of GBS’ triumphs. Especially his friendship with Sir Barry Jackson. Oh & GBS could make Ozzy look like a choirboy.
