As if to draw a line between the UK fans and the rest of the world, we now have this. People lucky enough to be in the London area on November 8 2008 will be able to attend the "Barry Gray Centenary Concert" at the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank in London.

It will certainly be a major event for Anderson fans.

Full details after the jump. Lucky gits.

The Philharmonia Orchestra will perform together with guest musicians, including composer-pianist Crispin Merrell (Space Precinct, Lavender Castle and New Captain Scarlet).
 
Ralph Titterton, restorer of the Barry Gray archive, co-producer of the Barry Gray original soundtrack CDs, and Cathy Ford, Barry Gray librarian; researcher and biographer, have joined with composer, conductor and arranger Francois Evans to produce a concert to celebrate the centenary of Barry Gray’s birth.
 
Net proceeds will be donated to The Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund.

 
Tickets will be on sale at the South Bank Centre at www.southbankcentre.co.uk. Concert-goers may join the South Bank Centre’s on-line newsletter to keep up to date as to when the tickets will become available.
