Facilitate family birthday celebration

It was J's birthday last Sunday.  Ideally he would have liked a family meal with us all together, but with one working shifts and booked for the weekend and the other working weeks, plus having wife and daughter, this wasn't going to work.  So instead the celebration was spread out.

We began by going to the launch party of the Elmore Chamber Music Festival.  Elmore is a village a few miles from us, and J enjoys chamber music, so when the launch party was the day before his birthday it seemed a good idea for a present, with the possibility of buying him tickets for some of the festival concerts at the same time.  It began with a piece by Haydn played by the Elmore Quartet, a chamber music quartet who J likes.  I'm not a fan of chamber music, nor of Haydn, so I let my mind wander.  He enjoyed it.

Elmore is one of those villages where you could easily imagine a cosy mystery being set, with the standard cast of characters.  I wonder if Miss Marple fancies going to the Music Festival?
