Sir, - In paying tribute to the late Frank Patterson it is important to recall how he refused to feature songs of militant nationalism and that he particularly favoured numbers such as his own composition Let There Be Peace.
The first public funds for the Reconciliation Centre at Glencree in the early 1970s were the takings from a concert which he generously gave in the Rupert Guinness Hall. Later he gave more concerts for Glencree in the National Concert Hall. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam . - Yours, etc.,
