Butterfield achieved with a diplomatic stroke of the pen what a dozen reporters would have sweat a dozen hat bands off to have done half as well. Arrived at the Leeds Festival he found the tickets to be beyond price....he penned a winsome note to the director, Sir Arthur Sullivan hinting at the long pilgrimage he had made to attend the festival.

Later he passed a week at Sir Arthur's home.....' The Leeds Triennial Musical Festival ran from 1858 -1985 and in 1880 Sullivan was appointed as director and principal conductor of the festival.
