Tuesday Talks 2024
On the first Tuesday of every month, we’ll be joined by speakers who will share their passion and knowledge on a weird and wonderful range of topics.
All Tuesday Talks are free, but spaces are limited so we recommend booking in advance.
Tuesday 7th January - Hero of the Raging Main - The Songs of Lord Nelson, The Victory & Trafalgar
Brian Gaudet draws on his passions for history and English folksong to highlight just how Lord Nelson, his most famous ship and his final naval battle have been commemorated in song for 220 years and don't miss the scandal concerning Horatio and Emma Hamilton.
At the start of the 19th century, as in 1939-45, Britain stood in danger of invasion by an all-conquering European war-mongerer. After the bloody French Revolution and execution in 1793 of King Louis XVI, France had seen the rise to power of a new dictator - Napoleon Bonaparte. With much of Europe beaten into submission, Bonaparte turned his attention to invasion of the British Isles known poetically as "the bonny bunch of roses". But Bonaparte, his admirals and allies were to meet their match in Horatio Nelson - already a British naval leader of fame.
Talks start at 1pm and take place in the Auditorium at Tullie.
