Prom Night: The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain Live at the Royal Albert Hall
On Tuesday, 18 August 2009, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain was a headline act at the BBC Proms, an annual festival more formally known as the Henry Wood Promenade. The BBC Proms goes on for about ten weeks and includes dozens of concerts in London’s Royal Albert ingångsrum , as well as chamber music performances in nearby Cadogan entré and a variety of lectures, films, and other fringe events devoted to music.

Hi there,
April 4 is the anniversary of another significant but lesser known date in MLK’s life. It was on this date, in 1967, exactly one year before he was killed, King appeared at Riverside Church in New York City. He outlined why he opposed the Vietnam War. It would become known as his “Beyond Vietnam” address.
Today we will listen to another speech of King’s against the Vietnam War given shortly after his Riverside Church address.
He would call the United States “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today” and note that “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”
Well today in Harlem, the Riverside Church is celebrating the anniversary of King’s “Beyond Vietnam” speech with an anti-war funeral procession that will proceed from Grant’s Tomb on 122nd Street down to Bryant Park near Times Squar
