Elgar's archives to be moved to London

Elgar's archives to be moved to London
It's been announced, this week, that the Elgar Archives - the collection dedicated to the Worcestershire-born composer - is to be moved out of the county and into London.

The Elgar Foundation says it's taken the decision because the British Library will be better able to promote Edward Elgar's life and work all over the world.

The group says it was largely down to a lack of financial resources to maintain a modern archive.

The 15,000-strong collection were first left with the county record office in 1966 by his daughter and then transferred to the newly-refurbished Birthplace Museum in 2002.

Chloe Ferguson is a 25-year-old songwriter from Wales, who now lives in Stourport after her parents relocated to the town.

Chloe, who was home-schooled, wrote her first song when she was just five-years-old.

She says: "I'm an ex-introvert and can only confront people in songs," but she's done modelling and acting since.

Her influences include Coldplay, Maroon 5, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Christina Perri, Vanessa Carlton and Katy Perry - and goes under the name of TheCFShow.

鈥淎 beautiful and haunting voice that just draws you in" - Andrew Marston.
