As part of a series of events and activities to mark the centenary of the wreck of the Titanic, Cumbria Libraries are hosting an evening with best selling writer Christopher Ward, author of: And the Band Played On: The Titanic violinist and the glove maker - a true story of... love, loss and betrayal, on Thursday 15th March at Carlisle Library, starting at 7pm.
On 14th April 1912 the Titanic struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage and sank. Fifteen hundred passengers and crew lost their lives. As the order to abandon ship was given, the orchestra took their instruments on deck and continued to play. They were still playing when the ship went down.
The violinist, 21 year-old Jock Hume, knew that his fiancée, Mary, was expecting their first child - the author's mother.
One hundred years later, Christopher Ward reveals a dramatic story of love, loss and betrayal, and the catastrophic impact of Jock's death on two very different Scottish families. He paints a vivid portrait of an age in which class determined the way you lived - and died.
An outstanding piece of historical detective work, this is also a moving account of how the author's quest to learn more about his grandfather revealed the shocking truth about a family he thought he knew, a truth that had been hidden for nearly a hundred years.
Tickets for this event are available now from Carlisle Library, telephone 01228 227310
