Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1938

Griff tells Ida that he's heard about Matthay School of Music friend Clifford Curzon has played John Ireland's piano concerto in London, "the boy does have to hop about quickly."
He discusses the culture offer elsewhere "in Unmusical England" and says "I should like to be an impresario and hire Wigmore Halls and places. Star Matthay pupils could appear with better-known artists."
He's listening to concerts on the radio and admits he has been conned by a customer at the travel agency, "about the first time I've been bitten by the old confidence trick," leaving him "feeling small."
He sympathises with her cold.
