By permission and particular desire, for the benefit of John
McClean, (instructor of the German flute) will be performed
at the assembly-room, in Lodge-Alley, a concert of music
vocal and instrumental, to begin precisely at six o'clock in
the evening, on Thursday the 5th of December. The concert
will consist of two acts, commencing and ending with
favourite overtures, preformed by a full band of music, with
trumpets, kettle-drums, and every instrument that can be
introduced with propriety. The performance will be
interspersed with the most pleasing and select pieces
composed by approved authors. A solo will be played on the
German flute, by John McClean; and the whole will conclude
with an overture composed (for the occasion) by Philip Roth,
master of the band of music belonging to his majesty's royal
regiment of North British Fusiliers. Several gentlemen who
wish to encourage and reward merit, have suggested this
public amusement, and have deigned to honour with their
protection the person for whose benefit it is intended; one
instance of their condescending goodness, he will ever
gratefully acknowledge, in consenting it should be known
that they have been pleased to offer their assistance in the
performance; which every possible means will be used to
render agreeable and entertaining to the company, for whose
further satisfaction it is also proposed, that after the
concert there should be a ball; and, on this account, the
music begins early. As soon as the second act is finished,
the usual arrangement will be made for dancing.
N.B. The tickets for the concert can be procured at the
different printing-offices in this city, of the waiter at
the coffee-house, and at Messrs. Duff and Jacobs's taverns
in Second and Third-Streets. Price 7s. 6d. each ticket.
