Wallace was actually born in Waterford which is a town about 40km further along the South East Coast, He left Waterford months later but Waterford are very proud of their association with him and songs from his opera are frequently performed there. Una Hunt, the pianist on this occasion has made a special study of Wallace and his work for his bicentenary year.
