“Hi Tv_vitek, thanks for your interest! If you have a look at the RNCM Archives catalogue there are a few collections which include programmes from the late 19th to early 20th century. www.archives.rncm.ac.uk/
There is also the Hallé Archives, the Henry Watson Music Library in Manchester, and back catalogues of local newspapers such as the Guardian, many of which are available through ProQuest.
Feel free to email me at the RNCM (email on the catalogue page) but I might take a while to get back to you at the moment, I hope that's ok.”
“Hi all, Heather here from MDMA. These are some incredible memories and connections coming through here. To make it even more impactful on the site, I'm looking for ways to make the Cresters really connect with our Manchester content. I see some great stories here from Yorkshire and Scotland. Can anyone tell me of any venues that the Cresters would play local to Manchester? If anyone has any artefacts of those Manchester venues for the Cresters such as flyers or tickets etc., that would be amazing too. Thanks everyone!”
