I remember Peggy learnt of this event on the day Fairport played the Symphony Hall back in February. If you recall he spent a couple of hours in the afternoon taking a look around the newly renovated Town hall and the curator brought this event to Peggy's attention. Peggy phoned Bev Bevan, who I believe is helping to organise the concert, to offer his services.
