Francis Jackson

Here is Francis Jackson's other reference to Dad (which would have pleased him immensely!) 'I flew to Burnie on the north coast of Tasmania for a recital in St George's Church; another in Launceston, plus a civic reception, and one more at Hobart. This was all overseen by Herbert Woodhouse, well-known as a York organist and now president of the organist fraternity in Tasmania.' It might have been better to write York-born as Dad was better known in South Africa and Australia and he was chair of RSCM in Tasmania and the President of the organists association. This visit was in 1978 but was often talked about in our family - FJ made a great impression!
