.............................................

The printed programme gave the name of Madame Lemmens-Sherrington but the review of the concert published in the report of the concert published in "The Musical Times" March 1, 1971, p. 24, gives the name of Miss Eleanor Armstrong as the vocalist and there is no mention of Madame Lemmens-Sherrington.   This would imply that Madame Lemmens-Sherrington did not appear at this concert.

Programme Notes: 

There is no indication of a change of performer in the printed programme but from the review published in"The Musical Times" March 1, 1971, p. 24, it is clear that Madame Lemmens-Sherrington was indisposed and her place was taken by local soprano, Miss Eleanor Armstrong.
