Two Kinds of Teardrops by Michael Grillo
Combining his considerable experience as a qualified lecturer in Further Education with his varied and extensive knowledge of the music industry – Michael has produced an absorbing talk which is unique in its field. His narration is interspersed with integrated music excerpts. ‘Two Kinds of Teardrops’ includes several interesting anecdotes about many of the songs that these iconic artists recorded – providing an insight into their shared experiences – not just via their music – but also through their own personal lives. So, whether you’re a fan of these two pop icons from the golden age of the 60’s – or just curious about the lasting legacy they have left on popular music – this is a presentation with a difference for you to enjoy.

As part of our 10th Anniversary of the formation of Westerham u3a we celebrated by holding an Open Day on Thursday 8th June
The Interest Groups were asked to create an individual display illustrating their activities and the results were amazing!
The Flower Arrangers stole the show but all the tables were enthusiastically manned by members who shared their passions with the many visitors and, hopefully attracted new recruits. At least a dozen new members signed up on the day, one of the first being Colin Mafham who is looking forward to joining a Wine Appreciation Group as well as experiencing some theatre visits.
In addition to the displays there were demonstrations of Mahjong, Quilting and Yoga, and music from the Ukelele strummers - with a very welcome break for tea and cake when a rest was needed! We were honoured to have the company of a distinguished visitor, Susie Berry, u3a Trustee S E Region, who seemed impressed by what she saw - lots of people taking a real interest in u3a actvities.
Our next 10th Anniversary Celebration is an Afternoon Tea at Westerham Hall on Thursday 10th August 2023 at 2pm
