Alan Carlisle: a tribute - Delano - Luxembourg in English


Henry Wickens remembers his friend Alan Carlisle, the well-loved all-round musician who died at his home in Haller on 8 December 2020 at the age of 72.
Alan studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music, specialising in the French horn and singing, but after a time as a professional musician he decided to make his living with his other talents in the emerging area of IT, and got a job with the UK computing firm ICL in London in 1972.
The story of how he came to Luxembourg is typical of the way the two strands of his life intertwined. ICL was involved in the European Commission’s first automated translation project, SYSTRAN, and it was a colleague of his working in Luxembourg who first invited him here in 1981 not as a computer professional but to sing the role of Nanki-Poo in Pirate Productions’ staging of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado”. ....
