 Recent Concert Reviews
It would be difficult to over-emphasise the importance of Ian Pace's mastery of this daunting score and convincing interpretation of the music in his complete performance at RAM, and he is to be congratulated on a monumental achievement.
Ian Pace was the most flamboyantly virtuosic, his full length and demanding programme, given without an interval, traversing Sciarrino's substantial first sonata, whose separate gestures gradually gathered some continuity before returning to fragmentation, to Evryali by Xenakis, a sparkling whirlwind of a toccata at the extreme edge of possibility.
Ian Pace showed a remarkable control of rhythm and colour, and in music which presses pianism towards its limits, he and the Petrof piano seemed as one.

 ian mikardo
Ian Mikardo School, in Talwin Street, opened the doors to its first intake of pupils last January, after relocating from Weavers Fields.
The young Mikardo studied hard to overcome his problems, and it was his proud mother’s ambition that he should become a rabbi.
He soon realised the life of a cleric was not for him however, and the bright pupil transferred to Portsmouth Grammar School, spending his leisure hours watching Portsmouth FC – even when the club’s glory days had gone he retained an encyclopedic knowledge of all their matches.

 Guardian | What really happened at Yarl's Wood?
The Foreign Office has always insisted that it knew nothing of the Peruvian peace plan until after the sinking, but the Labour minority on the House of Commons foreign affairs select committee, under the chairmanship of the late Ian Mikardo, took a different view.
In his 1988 autobiography, Ian Mikardo wrote: "It is still a source of puzzlement to me that our thoroughly documented exposé of the government's duplicity aroused so much less interest throughout the country than one might reasonably have expected.
But I have the consolation of a firm conviction that some day, though probably not in my lifetime, the full truth will emerge." Ian Mikardo died in 1993.

 Socialism and the Labour Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Writing in Tribune on 28 May 1948, after the Scarborough conference, Ian Mikardo reflected that the failure of the conference to mount an effective challenge to the government arose both from the approach of the election and from a general movement in the party to the right.
A shift in constituency sentiment to the left is suggested by the election of Michael Foot in 1948, followed by Tom Driberg in 1949 and Ian Mikardo in 1950, but the constituencies also repeatedly elected such orthodox leaders as Hugh Dalton, James Griffiths and Herbert Morrison.
Bevan, whose freedom was limited by his membership of the government, and Laski, whose attendance at the policy subcommittee in particular was sporadic, were useful to the right-wing NEC as left-wingers who could wind up debates by persuading reluctant delegates to give their backing to the platform.

This constituency has a history of industrial and community activity which reads like a history of the Labour movement, stretching back beyond the great dock strike of 1889.
Keir Hardie, George Lansbury, Elwyn Jones, Ian Mikardo and Clement Attlee have all represented this area.
It was heavily bombed during the blitz, and more recently - following the closure of the docks in London - it saw the arrival of the London Docklands Development Corporation, which heralded a new era for the area.

The battle over George Orwell's political legacy is set to reignite next month when his notebook naming suspected communist sympathizers goes on public display for the first time.
The document proves that Orwell, long lionized by the Left, was not averse to scrutinizing 135 possible "cryptos" or "fellow travellers," including the novelist and playwright J.B. Priestley, the Scottish poet Hugh McDiarmid, the novelist Naomi Mitchison and the Labour member of parliament (MP) Ian Mikardo.
Orwell's agonizing over his individual judgments is shown by the entry on Priestley, which has against it a red asterisk, crossed out with fl cross-hatching and then encircled in blue with an added question-mark.
