The Grand Lodge of Scotland has decided to institute an annual memorial recital in his name.

The first of these recitals will be held on Friday, 22nd June 2012 and is open to the public. Tickets are available from Freemasons' Hall (telephone: 0131 225 5577) and cost £5 each.

The recital will provide a wide and varied repertoire and will cater for all tastes. We are delighted to announce that three very well-known organists, Dr John Kitchen, Peter Backhouse and Simon Nieminski, have agreed to play at this recital each bringing their own rich and indiviual styles.

Freemasons' Hall will be open at 6.15pm and the recital will commence at 7.00pm. Please note that tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis

During his long musical career Brother Townhill gave unstinting service to the Grand Lodge of Scotland and to give some idea of the scale of that long and successful career below we provide extensive details of his life and achievements. We hope that all who knew (Freemasons and non-Masons alike) Dennis will wish to attend this memorial recital.
