Saturday 20th February saw the Noël Coward Archive, the Noël Coward Foundation and the Guildhall Art Gallery collaborate in the first education event connected with the Noël Coward: Art & Style Exhibition.

Last year, the Noël Coward Archive was contacted by one of Coward’s godsons, Christopher Lister, son of Bert Lister (renowned dresser, valet, chauffeur and sometime stage manager to Noël Coward) who died 25 years ago this winter.

We recently received from Jim Johnston in Florida two sets of band parts for arrangements of Coward’s music: Pacific 1860 Selection arranged by George L. Zalva and Cavalcade Selection arranged by Guy Jones.
