User:Thparkth/Messiah from Scratch

Messiah from Scratch is a Scratch Messiah performed annually in London's Royal Albert Hall annually since 1974.

History
The event was founded in 1974 by David Burgess, a spectroscopist at Imperial College and his colleague Donald Munroe, an electrical engineer, who were partly motivated by a personal desire to play their own musical instruments in the Albert Hall. Physicist colleague Gavin Park conducted the first event.
