In the late 1960s I was a violinist in the Leicestershire Schools Symphony Orchestra.

The LSSO was regularly conducted by its Patron, Sir Michael Tippett and other eminent figures such as Sir Adrian Boult, Sir Arthur Bliss and Andre Previn.

The orchestra made commercial recordings for the Pye, Argo, Unicorn and CBS labels. Visit the memorabilia website (link above).

My videos feature the LSSO, Oldham Music Centre and the Saddleworth Whit Friday brass band contests.

Absolutely fantastic to have such a good record of the Oldham Music Service concerts. It's a shame there isn't any from the swing band from the recent wind department concert. Some family missed the concert and it would've been great to share it.

Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful Michael Tippett collection. I fell in love with his music while at york university and saw the great man conduct his piano concerto there in 91.

Thanks for all these wonderful video's John. I'm a Saddleworth ex-pat (greenfield) and have played for all the Saddleworth bands at one time or another. Sadly I don't play any more but your video's make me ache for home, and the one special day that is Whit Friday.
