Elizabeth Ann Linley pitfalls of performing on the London stage. Among the venues he selected as her manager were his concerts in Bath and the Three Choirs Festival, which included tours at Gloucester Cathedral, Hereford Cathedral, and Worcester Cathedral, as well as performances in Cambridge, Chester, London, Oxford, and Salisbury. The tours were lavish events accompanied by social gatherings held apart from the concert appearance, wherein Elizabeth and the other performers were expected to entertain for several hours prior to each performance. In selecting a repertoire to enhance Elizabeth's fame, her father eliminated popular songs, instead choosing regional ballads with "impeccable national pedigree"
The Daffodil Festival (Gloucester, VA) and 1940s. The rise in popularity and ability to grow of daffodils in the county led to daffodil farms and even imported bulbs from other countries. Gloucester was even featured in the National Geographic twice with pictures of the townsfolk and daffodils. After World War II, a decline in growing occurred only to rebound into one of the biggest frenzies of daffodil growing Gloucester had seen. This frenzy led to overproduction and the eventual decline of the daffodil production in the Daffodil Capitol of America. (Ray, 1991) The Daffodil Festival offers one four year renewable scholarship worth $1000 each year.
