Accordion Man Plaque Unveiled, St Alban’s – UKby Rob Howard |
 The Accordion Man plaque, designed by Mandy Reekie, was officially unveiled last Saturday by St Albans Mayor, Councillor Frances Leonard. The plaque is in honor of the late Paddy Delaney, an accordion player who busked at St Albans market for more than 30 years, who died last year. Following his death a petition was set up to install a plaque in his memory close to where he busked on Upper Dagnall Street, St Albans. It received more than 1,000 signatures and a charity busking day last year raised £1,700 to fund the plaque, which was installed recently. Mayor Leonard said: “One of the roles of a Mayor is to champion the city we live in, local charities, and events. The 'Plaque for Paddy' campaign represents all of those things in bucket loads. “I’m thrilled to officially unveil the plaque in honor of Paddy Delaney and the contribution he made to our city through music.” |
