mick58ward Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Hello folks, Does anyone remember singing, as part of a school event, Christmas Carols on the city hall steps in the late 1960's-early 1970's? I believe that I was at King Edward V11 school, but it could have been earlier, when I was at Lydgate Lane Junior school. My memory isn't what it used to be, but the only other child I remember there was my neighbour, Susan Hatcliffe. Does anyone remember taking part or even have any photos.

melv Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I remember singing outside the cathedral in 1968. My school was Dykes Lane Academy for Young Gentlemen,(Jordanthorpe) I can recall everything going wrong as the sound system was not very good. The music teacher was Mr Kirkwood, who was excellent.

mick58ward Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Hi melv, Hmmm, sounds like the right era, but mine was definitely on the City Hall steps, I can remember the memorial column opposite. Maybe they had a different school each year, or maybe they had more than one school together. I was either at Lydgate Lane Junior School, or King Edward Seventh on Darwin Lane. All I can recall is how cold it was and the back of a girl's head! Edited December 17, 2017 by mick58ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick58ward Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hi Sherman, I wish I could get to the bottom of this. All my life, I've been under the impression that it was only my school and that I was 'honoured' to have been chosen. lol;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
