Variations on the IDB theme ‘Come on Northern Ireland’

Original typed letters and newspaper clippings relating to Derek Bell’s composition Variations on the IDB theme ‘Come on Northern Ireland ’. Includes letter from T. L. de Winne, Manager, Ulster Hall, Belfast to Derek Bell telling him that ‘this magnificent, accomplished, clever, witty, topical, pertinent, rousing work is deserving of becoming a Last Night of the Proms ‘standard’’ (1 Jul 1985). However in a subsequent letter he tells Bell that the orchestra refuses to play the Variations ‘on the basis that the work is “too partisan”, and that objections have been raised both by members of the orchestra and the Board of Directors’ (17 Jan 1986); original typescript by Derek Bell of performance guidelines ‘for Jack Thomson - (or the conductor) and Terry de Winne’ [?1987]; and also reviews of Variations … being performed by The Studio Symphony Orchestra in ‘final proms concert’ (15 Jun 1987).
