Music in Memory at Egerton

On an evening at Dunscar Golf Club near Egerton, we had the privilege of performing in tribute to Victor’s daughter—just 27 years old—surrounded by friends and family who came to honour her memory.

Music in Memory at Egerton: Her Musical Legacy

Victor requested a blend reflecting his daughter’s unique passions. Consequently, we performed:

• Classical standards, including Pachelbel’s Canon in D and Elgar’s Salut d’Amour, for timeless comfort.
• Modern favorites by Muse and My Chemical Romance (Welcome to the Black Parade, Blackout, Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole) to echo her youthful spirit.
• Theme tunes like Fawlty Towers, adding a playful nod to her sense of humour.

She herself was a gifted multi‑instrumentalist—adept on clarinet, flute, saxophone, piano, and guitar—and had played in local orchestras. Tragically, she passed away just after her 27th birthday, yet her musical legacy continues to inspire.

From Rock Anthems to Reflective Classics at Egerton

First, we launched into rock anthems, and guests—especially younger attendees—sang along in heartfelt unity. Then, we transitioned to reflective classical pieces. For example, Max Richter’s On the Nature of Daylight and Jason Swinscoe’s Arrival of the Birds provided gentle pauses for collective remembrance. Moreover, these selections created an atmosphere of calm reflection.

Community, Comfort, and Connection Through Live Music

Furthermore, the gathering highlighted how live music brings people together. Conversations sparked over shared memories, and tears mixed with smiles as melodies wove through heartfelt tributes. Additionally, witnessing the comfort music can provide in times of loss reinforced our purpose.

A Humble Honour and Lasting Tribute

Ultimately, the experience underscored the power of live performance to comfort, unite, and create lasting memories. It was a humble honour to support Victor’s family and celebrate a bright life with the melodies she cherished.

We hope this Music in Memory at Egerton tribute serves as a reminder of her vibrant spirit and the healing power of music.
