Review

The Bath Chronicle (February 13, 1823): 3.

Mr. LODER’S Benefit Concert took place last evening the Rooms, and was attended by the principal persons of taste and fashion in Bath, for whom a rich treat was provided by the worthy leader and director of the Subscription Concerts. We regret that owing to a particular accident to our manuscript we ate not able at present enter into further particulars of this very admirable performance, which afforded to all present the utmost gratification, and was highly creditable to the distinguished taste and talents of Mr. Loder.
