    1. First of all, why did you delete my comment? Secondly, I knew about the choir special from Year In TV Guide! Finally, Convention Hall used to be a major venue, they even hosted a Beatles concert!

      1. Sorry, my first comment was on the Wednesday page and you answered it on Thursday! My apologies!
