Visitors to the Refusing To Kill exhibition<\/a> in Bristol Cathedral will have learnt about Frank Merrick and even heard his voice. With the support and involvement of Frank\u2019s family we are now pleased to present a performance of some of his music.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/u><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Frank Merrick<\/b> was 31 when he was arrested as an absentee from the Army in 1917. His conscientious objection was founded upon moral and political beliefs and was demonstrated by the fact that as a long-standing vegetarian he refused to kill a single living being. An absolutist conscientious objector, he spent his war in prison.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

It will be possible to view the Refusing To Kill exhibition<\/a> before both performances. Additional material about Frank Merrick will be added to the exhibition for the occasion. The exhibition continues in Bristol Cathedral until January 8th. It will then transfer to the Central Library for several weeks.
