“01/04/11. Am looking forward this this production at the Opera House. We have tickets so will reserve judgement until then. I agree that the choir was for all children but I remember my mum telling me that it was very competitive to be included. Mum and her niece and comtemporary were at Birley St. school together. Mum was selected but her niece was not - oh dear!”
“Thanks to afg & TomUK. Mum missed the 1979 reunion - only learning about the event after it was covered by Granada at the time. Was able to play the disc to her fairly recently. Whilst she thoroughly enjoyed listening to it again individual names meant little to her, sadly. She passed away peacefully on 18th March - three months short of her 96th birthday.

“Just acquired CD fom Beulah "Hamilton Harty, Composer, Conductor, Arranger". Contains 'Nymphs and Shephers" and dance duet from 'Hansel and Gretel'. My mother was a member of the choir as Hilda Britland from Nelson St, Beswick. She was at Birley Street School. Am looking forward to playing the disc to her in the next few days. She is 95 and enjoying life at her nursing home.
