Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1958

All the gossip on the early chat led by the Manchester local authority on the reasons for creating a single school of musical training in Manchester. And all the initial objections from the Northern School of Music.
The main reason: the local authority is financially supporting two institutions that they believe could work together so they only needed sponsor one organisation.
The main objection: that the NSM was its own institution and would not be swallowed up by the bigger RMCM and thereby losing its identity and ethic.
