Darren Vallier meets Geoff Hutchinson

As part of my ongoing research on the Mary Stanford Lifeboat Disaster, I had the pleasure of meeting Geoff Hutchinson yesterday – author of The Mary Stanford Disaster (ISBN 0951993615). This is the book that I purchased back in 1993 and kept coming back to as a possible musical idea but didn’t know how to recreate it for the stage.

It is a truly inspirational and moving story. Worth checking out.

We chatted about the tragic events on 15th November 1928 and shared ideas regarding my current musical project ‘A Pocketful Of Rye’.
Tired yet inspired, I went home and wrote a possible uptempo number for the second act.
Thank you Geoff.
