A history lesson.
During the latest Artsreach event, I learned more about the twists and turns of life and death in the reign of Henry V111 then I ever did in school history lessons!
Bob Whitley (right) wrote songs in chronological order to document the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn. On stage he was ably accompanied by Lee MacKenzie playing a Baroque cello....note the lack of a floor spike!
What struck me most were the shenanigans, power plays, backstabbing and intrigues within today's political parties are highly reminiscent of what went on in the court of Henry V111. The song below illustrates it very well.

Bob Whitley and Lee MacKenzie "Lady Rochford listens"
The above was recorded and produced by Jon Whitley, he of Ninebarrow. Bob is his father! Lee has also played on numerous Ninebarrow tracks and appeared with them on live internet shows.
