They are all master musicians, but there is no sense of ego, no promotion of themselves as stars, although they certainly can dazzle. There is that same sweetness, ease, subtlety and good humour, every song and tune so well understood, so deftly played and so perfectly paced. This engaging trio inspires in me the same devotion that old Virginia musicians like Wade Ward and Uncle Charlie Higgins do. 'Whenever Rattle On The Stovepipe are booked to play at my local folk club I'm first in the queue to make sure I get my seat in the front row. The third member is the much younger multi-instrumentalist Dan Stewart… one of Europe's leading Old Timey banjo players.' Both have been members of leading bands and duos for decades now but never has either been heard to better effect than in this line-up. ' The trio brings together two of the British folk scene's most admired veterans, Dave Arthur and Pete Cooper. Dave Arthur (guitar, 5-string banjo, melodeon, percussion, vocals), Pete Cooper (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), Dan Stewart (5-string banjo, guitar, fiddle, harmony vocals) ![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes referred to in the press as the "media don," Starkey's contributions to the public interest in the Tudors were recognized this year by the Historical Association, which awarded him the Medlicott Medal for Services to History. He is now engaged in a new television program on the six wives of Henry VIII and a new biography of that king. ![]() ![]() But before all his media activities, David Starkey, a student of Sir Geoffrey Elton, earned a PhD in Tudor history from Cambridge, writing a dissertation which is accurately described on Starkey's web site as "an underground classic." An expert on the household of Henry VIII, he interpreted Henry's court to the public in a superb Greenwich exhibition and edited the household inventories of Henry VIII. American audiences have known him as a commentator for NBC's coverage of the funeral of Princess Diana. Perhaps best known to BBC listeners as a radical libertarian panelist on Radio 4's The Moral Maze, he created the program David Starkey's Henry VIII in 1998. The popularity of the program and the biography was due in part to the subject matter, and in part to David Starkey's reputation and skills as a media personality. The release of this biography was timed to match the showing, and Elizabeth: Apprenticeship quickly entered the best seller list in Britain. This is the book of BBC 4's Elizabeth that ran in the UK in the spring of 2000.

With Reynolds’ encouragement, and Fuseli’s own resolve to become a painter, he spent eight years of rigorous artistic training in Rome from 1770-78. In 1764 Fuseli travelled to England to publish his translation of Johann Winckelmann’s, 'Painting and Sculpture of the Greeks', and during this time was encouraged by Joshua Reynolds to pursue a career as an artist. This research would later inform Fuseli’s art. He also befriended the poet and physiognomist, Johann Kaspar Lavater, whose work focused on how one’s facial expressions reflected their personality and state of mind. ![]() While completing his studies in Zürich he was introduced to philosophy, theology and the works of Shakespeare, Dante, Homer and Milton.
