“I've spoken to my mother and she went to school in Worseley. There were 2 pupils who joined the choir from that school, my mother (Dora Pollitt) and Tommy Hope (Macnemara). Their headmaster knew Hamilton Harty and he wanted those two because of their good singing voices. My mother thinks they went with the headmaster by tram into Manchester.”
“My mother Dora Pollitt was one of the singers on this record. She'a now Dora Wightman and she lives in Braunton - Devon. She's 88 and still going strong, though she says she's feeling her age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
