The 2011 London Mandolin Festival is dedicated to Alison Stephens
Alison recently passed away after a long painful fight with cancer
We will celebrate her contribution to the London BMG Clubs with a
performance of her arrangement of the well known Wedding Tarantella
Did you know?
Alison Stephens played the mandolin in her teenageyears in the long standing group, the Lewisham BMG Orchestra.
The festival believes that amateur groups breed great players
and without amateur groups players will not be complete as musicians
Help us keep amateur groups alive - the Lewisham Orchestra is in need of players!
Take up the mandolin or guitar and join a group today
Could you be the next Alison Stephens?
