* Ivor Gurney Society

'Gurney was that rare being: both poet and composer, the first Englishman to be dually-gifted in these two arts since Thomas Campion in the reign of Elizabeth I, and his output was prodigious. He left us around two hundred songs, several chamber and instrumental works, and over three hundred poems and verse-pieces, the best of which mark Gurney out as a creative spirit touched by genius ... Society events are normally held each spring, where talks and recitals enable members to explore Gurney’s verse and music. A Newsletter is circulated, free to members, at intervals throughout the year.'
