On 15th January 1968 Delia participated in a concert of electronic music at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.
The concert opened with her piece Pot Pourri and there is film of her on stage starting the machinery that plays Peter Zinovieff's ‘Partita for Unattended Computer’.[1]
At the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London there was a full house of thirteen hundred people [with] three hundred people turned away, in 1967.[2]
The following day, "Jack" (Albert Chatterly) wrote to Delia[3] saying:
Congratulations on your (far too) tiny bit at the Q.E. Hall last night. I agreed with the "Times" that you certainly produced gorgeous sounds.
