Special event to remember Frank Bryce

A special event will be held later this month to remember the musician Frank Bryce.

Memory
  The event will be hel din memory of Frank Bryce

A special event is to be held to recall memories of the respected composer, conductor and arranger Frank Bryce who died in December aged 88.

Appropriate event

His son David told 4BR: "Since my Dad passed away and bequeathed his body to medical science I've been thinking of an appropriate event to mark his passing for family, friends and acquaintances.

I've arranged to hire St Luke's Church of England Church Hall in Bolton on Sunday 25th February for a memorial event to take place between 2.00pm and 4.00pm.

It's for everyone who knew my Dad in whatever capacity and all are welcome. I hope to provide some catering, but most of all to provide a gathering where everyone can share their memories of my father."

Artwork

David said that there will also be a collection of his father's artwork, which he hopes that will remind friends of Frank. They will be able to take a work home with them.
