Two wooden flutes (each with a wooden case) belonging to Elma McElligott (flute player with The London Lasses) were stolen from her car just off the Hornsey High Street (London N8) on the afternoon of Tuesday 20th Nov 2012.
One is a ‘D’ flute made by ‘Wylde’ (student of Rudal & Rose), there’s a very thin crack on the second piece of the flute and the low C key is missing on the bottom piece . And the other is a relatively new keyless C flute made by Eamon Cotter. Please, please, please can you share this information and help spread the word in any way you can to help locate the flutes if someone attempts to sell them on. Any information gratefully received at email: k.ryan@virgin.net or phone: 07906155188.
Peter Quinn of the Arts Desk (and of the London Lasses, nice work if you can get it etc) is reporting on Facebook that the flutes have been recovered
