About this audio guide
This guide to Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall starts with a small metal tablet in the entrance foyer, bearing the names of the eight musicians who played aboard the Titanic in April 1912. It follows the Liverpool agency that hired them, the contracts they sailed under, and a father in Dumfries who opened his post a fortnight after the sinking. Best heard standing close to the tablet, just inside the doors.
