Jeffrey Babb has Died

I was sorry to see, in a Facebook post, that Jeffrey Babb has just died, of cancer at Bronllys Hospital. He was 94. He was a familiar figure around Hay, with his wild white hair and, as he got older, his mobility scooter.
Mr Babb had a long and distinguished career as a musician and conductor, especially with youth orchestras. In his retirement in Hay he was also associated with Glasbury Arts.
For his ninetieth birthday, there was a special concert in St. Mary's Church, and most of the performers were former pupils of his, many of whom had gone on to have their own careers in music.
