Thanks to #GayleLofthouse #BBCRadioLeeds for this morning's interview. Yes, the Carnegie-named buildings across Leeds & Carnegie Hall New York are indeed linked to Louise & Andrew. Tonight's performance will give a flavour of how that happened.
Louise thanks all for their comments & posts. She is looking forward to visiting Saltaire tonight in the 120th year of Shipley Carnegie Library - part of Louise/Andrew philanthropic achievements.Time for Q&A after performance. #libraries

It's a beautiful church redolent with history of the area. Good to hear it's had a grant
Grants to save 1,000-year-old north Yorkshire church from closure. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Cash to repair roof granted to church in Kildwick to keep it open
The church could have been forced to close for weddings without the funding, the vicar says.
