foreword in the new season’s brochure, but after a list of players on page 3, there are photos and

biographies of Edgar Cosma and Meyer Stolow. The following players’ listing is a transcription of

which had been originally written as 25 Sep Belfast, 26 Sep

several pages later has Belfast on 25 Sep. and then, later,

Additional Information * For details, please see 19710628 and the following

explanation.

This concert was first given in Belfast on 26 June. The same

printed programme served for Derry, but the single

surviving programme copy carries no dates or venues. This

archive copy of 26 June has a handwritten note: “26/28

June 71”. (Saturday 26 and Monday 28). The UO ‘scrapbook’

listing has a handwritten “Derry – 27 June 71 / as Ulster Hall

– 26 June”. Would there have been a Sunday concert in the

Guildhall at that time?

Hence this concert has been documented under 28 June in

this database.
