James Percival
[[James Percival]'s BA thesis at Oxford was about Delia's music, his 2013 Masters thesis was "Delia Derbyshire's creative process"[1] and he is currently "Musicologist, Delia Derbyshire Archive" at Manchester University[2] and he made index to the Attic Tapes and Attic Papers.
He has also written a paper "Review of "Special Sound: The Creation and Legacy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop" and given a talk "Beyond 'Doctor Who': (re)discoveries from Delia Derbyshire's tape archive".[3]
None of these seem to have been published.
He was a panel member at the first Delia Derbyshire Day event in 2013.[4]
“There was a perception by [BBC] musicians at the time that the BBC Radiophonic workshop would put them out of business. Now, THAT got her back up.”[4]
