On that day I was one of very few folk in #LeedsTownHall who heard a fabulous organ recital by City Organist #DariusBattiwalla
We made a programme for local radio Chapel FM.

Photograph in black and white of the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra performing in an unknown venue – not Leeds Town Hall. The orchestra performed in other towns and cities in Yorkshire. They also took part in the Festival of Britain in 1951, performing in the new  Festival Hall in London. 
Also a photo of Norman del Mar, who conducted the orchestra in their final year and when they gave their last performance on 30 July 1955.

Alan Bennett went often as a boy in the 1950s, sitting behind the double basses.
He was in a minority who appreciated the focus on contemporary British music.
Early concerts in #LeedsTownHall were pervaded by the smell of fish & chip from the cellar café that still operated after WWII.
