The remainder of the collection dates from 1959 onwards. The collection includes items from the following organisations and festivals: Maidstone Orchestral Society; Maidstone Opera Group; Leeds Castle Festival; Sutton Valence Music Society. The majority of items do not specify a venue or are from events which took place in multiple venues, though programmes from Leeds Castle are an exception to this.
