Paul Henry is a natural-born story teller who spins a great yarn, and who says, 'I'll apologise for hurting people's feelings but I'll never apologise for being outrageous'.Paul Henry is a natural-born story teller who spins a great yarn, and who says, 'I'll apologise for hurting people's feelings but I'll never apologise for being outrageous'. From the man whose controversial comments on TV divided the country, and almost caused an international incident, comes this very funny memoir. Packed with stories from his eventful childhood and his long and adventurous career in journalism, this is a gripping, often hilarious and always entertaining read. It gives a fascinating insight into the complex character of Paul Henry. He's surprising — he doesn't subscribe to any expected set of beliefs, he's an individual with contradictory opinions. He's bold — he set himself up as an international news correspondent working out of his Masterton lounge, watching CNN and jetting off to the latest hotspot. He's talked himself into getting interviews with people as diverse as Peter Ustinov and the Prime Minister of Malaysia; he was there for the funerals of Diana and Mother Theresa; he's been thrown into jail in Iraq. He's versatile — starting with drama school, then broadcasting at the BBC, head of Radio NZ, standing for parliament against Georgina Beyer, international correspondent — as well as protesting at Mururoa and running an antique shop and his own radio station. And, he's all-round entertaining!

Book Synopsis Musicology and Performance by : Frieder Lang
Download or read book Musicology and Performance written by Frieder Lang and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arriving in the United States at age twenty-seven, Hungarian-born Paul Henry Lang (1901-1991) went on to exert a powerful influence on musical life and scholarship in his adopted country for more than six decades. As professor of musicology at Columbia University, editor of the Musical Quarterly, a founder of the American Musicological Society, and chief music critic of the New York Herald Tribune, Lang became one of Americas foremost musical scholars and commentators. This anthology of his previously uncollected writings includes essays written throughout his career on a full array of musical subjects, as well as unpublished chapters of the book on performance practice that he was writing at the time of his death. Lang was concerned above all with safeguarding the purity of musical knowledge as reflected in both scholarship and performance. Whether addressing his fellow musicologists or the general public, he expressed a broadly humanistic conception of musicology in his erudite and entertaining writings on such diverse subjects as Bach and Handel, the historical veracity of the film Amadeus, Marxist theory and music, and the controversial issue of authenticity in performance.

Download or read book The Glass Aisle written by Paul Henry and published by Seren. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this virtuoso collection, Paul Henry, poacher-like, tracks the journeys of the heart through landscape, love and loss. He takes his place as one of the most important Welsh poets now writing." – Carol Ann Duffy "This haunting, elegaic collection, about music, and made of music, leaves a reader's mind full of phrases, in both senses – verbal, and tonal – and exactitudes that catch and lodge in the memory." – Gillian Clarke From the sea of the poet's childhood to the stillness of a canal walked in middle age, The Glass Aisle moves between rage and stillness, past and present, music and silence. In the book's title poem, a telephone engineer repairs a line that crosses a canal to the site of an old workhouse. Tormented by the voices of former "inmates", he unwittingly connects the centuries, setting free the Victorian ghosts of poacher John Moonlight, lone parent Mary Thomas, and a host of others who haunt the poem's present-day walker. Elsewhere in this moving collection, love poems, elegies and familiar coastline "visitors", Brown Helen, Catrin Sands... define a nineteen-sixties childhood; a long poem, 'The Hesitant Song', "orchestrates silence" while playing "the sea's soft pedal" to convey the loss of a mother's songs. Lyrical and humane in its observations, The Glass Aisle is rich in the hallmarks readers have come to admire in Henry's poetry.

Download or read book Ingrid's Husband written by Paul Henry and published by Seren Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penned in a distinctive lyrical style, this collection of poems concerns itself with how the living haunt themselves. Each of the pieces are formed around a vivid image--among them, a child's signature in the dust of an old guitar, the stone plinth where a café once stood, a white balloon, and a chateau, still furnished with the belongings of its vanished owner. With a powerful and haunting voice, the concept of love underscores the commonplace in this moving and memorable collection of verse.
Download or read book Captive Audience written by Paul Henry and published by Seren Books. This book was released on 1996 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private and public worlds collide in this second collection of poems by Paul Henry. A cast that includes, amongst others, butchers, teachers, hairdressers, mechanics and town planners sustains this poet's awareness of human strengths and frailties. Acutely portrayed in the moving middle sequence, where the fall from grace of an elderly father is charted, familial tensions occur throughout Captive Audience. Fatherless friends, sisterly cousins, brothers who 'clench their grins and pebbly fists', the helplessly 'saved and damned' subjects of 'The Breath of Sleeping Boys', all convey Henry's ability to simultaneously praise and elegise. Elsewhere, in poems like 'For X and Y', 'Love Birds' and 'Recital', he skilfully 'adjusts the volume' of his work between music and silence. This book confirms Paul Henry's position as an original voice in contemporary poetry. "Paul Henry's second collection, Captive Audience, is firmly rooted in the ordinary; yet at the same time it reveals the sacredness that is OP there." Times Literary Supplement "Henry reminds us that extraordinary poetry is to be discovered in the ordinary events of love... there are few contemporary poets who are as confident of their emotional terrain, few as able to praise so uninhibitedly." New Welsh Review Paul Henry was born in Aberystwyth in 1959. He currently lives in Gwent with his wife and three sons. Originally a singer-songwriter, he combines freelance writing with working as a Careers Adviser. In 1989 he received an Eric Gregory Award.
