Towns, cities and regions, such as   Eastbourne  have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune.

 

 

About  Eastbourne   

 

There is strong evidence that Eastbourne may have been a Roman settlement. In 1717, a tessellated pavement and a bath were discovered one and a half miles south-east of the town, while further evidence was unearthed at later date.After the Roman conquest in 43 A.D., Sussex green sandstone was quarried from an area now at the foot of the Wish Tower (probably a derivative of harbour) and this was used in the construction of a number of villas (one on the site now occupied by the Burlington Hotel) and, perhaps more importantly, in the building of Pevensey Castle, which dates from the Third Century, being then known as the Fortress of Anderida, the adjacent Roman city of the same name, created by the harbour which devolved from the quarrying activities, later becoming Eastbourne.In 491 A.D., after some years of fighting, Pevensey castle was conquered by the Saxon warlord Aelle and the area became settled, some names now familiar, such as The Meads (Medes) deriving from the old Anglo-Saxon. An Anglo-Saxon cemetery was discovered at Mill Gap. In due course, the area became part of the Royal Estates, under King Alfred. The name Eastbourne itself derives from Anglo-Saxon, being a variant of the Middle English small stream. The actual stream surfaces in the old pond in Motcombe Gardens.
