House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY - to remember the life and work
of Cyril Tawney, who died in April 2005, and to raise funds for the
preservation of his archive of writing, field recordings and folk
memorabilia, which will be housed in the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library

Navy. The bill for the evening concert will include many of England's
