The Ivor Novello Appreciation Bureau

The Ivor Novello Appreciation Bureau

The Ivor Novello Appreciation Bureau is a voluntary organisation that was formed in Quedgeley, Gloucester to foster interest in and preserve the memory of the legendary Welsh Composer and actor Ivor Novello. The Honorary Administrator is Nicholas Gaze and he is assisted by Mary Falby and Chris Sansom.

An annual 'Ivor Day' event is held in the picturesque Berkshire village of Littlewick Green in June. A cast of performers gather in St. John's Church to perform recitals of prose and songs.

A Thanksgiving Service was held on 6 March 2001, in the "Actors' Church," St Paul's, Covent Garden, London to mark the 50th Anniversary of the passing of Ivor Novello. This was followed by a memorable concert in the Salon of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.

A lilac tree was planted in the grounds of St. John's Church, Littlewick Green on 10 June 2001.

The patrons are the sopranos Marilyn Hill-Smith and Sandra Watkins.
