from Classical Music Recording
Michael Portillo’s powerful film Death of a School Friend, broadcast on BBC2 on 7th November, was about the legacy of Gary Findon, a brilliant classical musician who took his own life at the age of 15. Now Gary’s family is to record a CD of his music (thought to have been destroyed at the time of his suicide) and is very generously donating all proceeds to PAPYRUS.
