My Gratitude For This Opportunity
5 November 2011 I was kindly granted a press pass to photograph Beverley
Knight,
The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Hall gave me permission to photograph
the concert from my wheelchair in the disabled box (aided by my chaperone),
as the front of stage area at the time would have been too narrow use my
walking stick and monopod.
I will always be grateful to Beverly Knight her team and the Royal Liverpool
Philharmonic Hall for this opportunity,
by “tagging”
@bloodcancer_uk

@liverpoolphil raises awareness for the charity.
