July 20th marks the 35th anniversary of Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee’s untimely death. At the age of 32, while going through the script of Game of Death at the home of his colleague the Taiwanese actress Betty Ting Pei, Lee collapsed and was rushed to hospital but was dead on arrival. He had already shot 90 minutes of footage for Game of Death, but had interrupted it to make Enter The Dragon. Although he was never able to finish filming it, Game of Death was finished and released posthumously in 1978. John Barry’s score does not disappoint and includes the song “Will This Be The Song I’ll Be Singing Tomorrow” performed by Colleen Camp.

The centenary of Barry Gray’s birth will be celebrated on November 8th with a concert at The Royal Festival Hall in London. Barry was an integral part of the Gerry Anderson team that created the TV series that have now become such an enduring and integral part of popular culture in Great Britain. Over an eighteen year period he scored the music for twelve television series and four feature films with music that now almost epitomises the heady days of the 1960s. They include Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90 which will all be performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra at the event, hosted by actor Brian Blessed and featuring guest of honour Gerry Anderson.
