The Bridge Quartet enjoyed their residency at last weekend and were very warmly received by our appreciative audience. Frank Bridge's quartet transcription of the tune you might well know as 'Danny Boy' took on a whole new perspective when someone suggested the quartet might play 'The London Derrière'!
