A celebration of the friendship between the First World War poet and composer, Ivor Gurney, and violinist, musicologist and champion of women musicians, Marion Scott.  It was to Scott that Gurney sent his music and poetry from the trenches. His writing was coloured by the horror of the Great War and his deep love for his native Gloucestershire. Despite their very different backgrounds, Scott and Gurney forged an enduring friendship that withstodd war, illness and despair, as well as triumph and joy.
