Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Dorothy Pilling, Irene Wilde
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1952

Griff reckons Ida is spending too much time at the Royal Academy of Music while there is sun in London.
He discusses the funeral of Harry Hoyland, trombonist of the Hallé.
Irene Wilde has offered to dust the bookcases of Hilda Collens while she visits her.
Apparently the Hallé ordered too few seats for rehearsal at the Town Hall and "there was a great to-do in arranging the semi-chorus to the liking of J[ohn] B[arbirolli] and Gregson."
He discusses the failed attempts to attend the Edinburgh Festival and that Irene Wilde is off to the Opera School at Bagnor.
