Dear music fan,

there follows details of an enlarged series of early music concerts in
Kingston running between February and June. Some take place on
Thursdays and a couple on Wednesdays; all except one will be held in
the charming Lovekyn Chapel - Kingston's oldest building. I have also
included information about a separate series of talks in the chapel
organised by its owners - Kingston Grammar School - to celebrate the
700th. anniversary of the chapel's founding.

Please pass on this information to anyone you think it may interest.
Please direct any enquiries, requests for clarification, complaints
about 'typos' and so on to me; and please of course let me know if you
would like to be removed from my mailing list.

Best wishes,
William Summers.
