A budding Wishaw writer is asking for the public’s help to provide more information on one of history’s greatest composers visiting the town.
Records show the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin, who was a child prodigy and piano virtuoso, visited Wishaw as an honoured guest of Lord and Lady Belhaven in 1848, less than a year before his death – at the age of just 39.
Gerry Carr, 60, has become fascinated with the story and is putting finishing touches to a book detailing the historic visit.
