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.
