Thoughts, musings and ideas about Classical music in London and Hull

Based in London, England and quite new to the classical music scene; this blog charts my forays into this world of music. My ideas, my musing, my thoughts.

Motivation: To critic the present attitudes towards classical music. To be a voice about the state of classical music concerts in Hull, England, my hometown.

Goal: To seek inspiration and promote inspiring outreach programmes for both children and adults (Doesn't matter where, if it's good, I'll include it).

How many London based Orchestras have played in Hull since 1980? - part two

Last month I submitted a question to Hull City Council on the What do they know site, a site which allows anyone to request information held by a public body. I asked Hull City Council to provide me with the names of London based orchestras who have played at Hull City Hall (the main concert venue in Hull, run by the council) since 1980. They had until 22nd March to respond with the information requested.

I received the information on 9th March and am grateful that they responded before the deadline. I was however told that Hull City Council do not hold records before 2000, so all the information I received is dated after this date.

How many London based Orchestras have played in Hull since 1980?- Part One

I thought it a good question to ask, just how many London orchestras have played in Hull since 1980? Having discovered via Twitter that the English Chamber Orchestra has not played in Hull since the 1980's, and the London Symphony Orchestra might never have played in Hull, I wondered how many more orchestras have never or not for a long time played in Hull?
