In 1968, Delia gave a lecture at Morley College in London about her work at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, at which she met David Vorhaus, a turning point in her life.[1].

I was giving a lecture at Morley College in London and he came up to me afterwards.[2]

I was on my way to an orchestral gig when the conductor told me that there was a lecture next door on the subject of electronic music. The lecture was fantastic and we got on like a house on fire, starting the Kaleidophon studio about a week later![3]

Morley College's Learning Resources Centre Manager writes:[4]

She signed the visitors book on 7.3.67. The occasion was a lecture in the series 'The composer speaks' so it was the last one on Tristam Cary.

and some letters reveal that Tristram Cary wax scheduled to speak but had to call it off for another pressing engagement, so Peter Zinovieff and crew stepped in at the last moment.[4]
