It was entirely fitting that the opening concert of the Stratford-upon-Avon Music Festival should feature work by Handel as well as the best-known piece by modern master Eric Coates - his Dambusters' March.

But the event, at the Civic Hall yesterday (Sunday Oct 12), also highlighted pieces made famous by Fergal Sharkey and The Undertones - cited by no less a luminary than John Peel as the best pop record ever created - and the inimitable George Formby as well as the legendary, Sergio Leone, creator of a whole sub-genre in the Spaghetti Western movie soundtrack, and, of course, The Clash.
