Sponsored by Warwick District Council Arts Development, the guests were welcomed by Jo Tucker from the steering group which produces the diary of musical events.

Paying tribute she started her address by saying how saddened people were by the sudden death of Bryan Harrison, the chairman of the steering group for over twenty years.

She explained how the Warwick District Music Promoters’ Forum had been started twenty years ago with support from Warwick District Council.

Malcolm Rowson then spoke about the anti-clash diary and how useful that could be to promoters.
