Picking up Tony’s email, this is a little-known but fascinating aspect of the First World War. If you’re interested in the West Indian experience of WW1, including the Taranto mutiny of 1918, please also take a look at the ‘Away from the Western Front’ project’s music pages, where you can listen to a song commissioned from composer Chris Hoban, whose grandfather served with the British West Indies Regiment. The web page includes versions of the song by choir, soloist and brass band, along with free-to-download scores and practice tracks. In the words of one of the choirs which performed the piece: ‘For many of the choir it was the highlight of the work we have done over the last four years. The song went down well with the audience, who were proud to have included a song with this content within our service’. See https://awayfromthewesternfront.org/projects/national-music-project/. Best wishes Robin Clutterbuck From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK.

The reversion of “Mutiny” our documentary resource on the Black British West Indian experience of WW1 is now on general release for streaming audiences. We hope you will find it interesting and useful. Links to access ‘Mutiny’ on Amazon Prime, or, Vimeo on Demand, can be found on our webpage – http://www.sweetpatootee.co.uk/work/mutiny/ Mutiny includes extracts from the UK’s only collection of video oral testimonies recorded with Black British West Indian veterans, along with a wealth of supporting sources. We welcome feedback from any all audience groups. But we are especially keen to hear from anyone else exploring how Mutiny can inspire and/or bring to life interpretation linking uncomfortable (National) history and modern identity and diversity - for example: Best wishes Tony Sweet Patootee T/F: 0207 686 5101 M: 0794 416 9335 W: www.sweetpatootee.co.uk Instagram: @sweetpatooteearts Facebook: @SweetPatootee Twitter: @SPatootee + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + GEM list: Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] Anyone can join for free at any time by sending this message to [log in to unmask]: Join GEM Firstname Secondname Include only the text above, without email signature etc. The title of the email doesn’t matter.
