All My Life's Buried Here: The Story of George Butterworth + Q&A with Anthony Murphy, George Butterworth's biographer & Director Stewart Morgan Hajdukiewicz

A special Remembrance Sunday screening event including a post-film Q&A with the director and special guest.

Experience the remarkable story of George Butterworth, composer of 'The Banks of Green Willow' and 'Rhapsody, A Shropshire Lad', from his earliest childhood to his final hours in the violent confusion of the Somme trenches in 1916.

We follow Butterworth on his forays collecting folk songs to discover what he found when he went out into rural England and how this informed his own music.

We discover why Butterworth once described himself as a 'professional morris dancer', and explore what led him to destroy so many of his own compositions before he died. 

Tracing his journey to its tragic conclusion we go with Butterworth into the trenches of northern France where his participation in increasingly desperate battles on the Somme ultimately cost him his life.
