FOHM: The Elusive Mr Lupino – a talk by Jean Riddell
Tuesday 17th September –8 pm – St. Andrew’s Centre, St. Andrew Street, Hertford, SG14 1HZ
Thomas William Luppino, the third man in Jean’s trilogy of talks, “Hertford’s Early Men of Music”, arrived in the town about 1808. He was from the extended theatrical family of Luppino or Lupino who came to England in the eighteenth century. Thomas, along with Thomas Green and Charles Bridgeman, was instrumental in laying the foundations of Hertford’s strong musical tradition and, in his case, sowing the seed of amateur dramatics in the mid 19th century.
