madannie77 184 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 George F Linstead (1908-1974), composer, pianist, organist, choirmaster and writer, lived for much of his life in Sheffield. His music is little known at present, but reading of his activities on the website dedicated to him suggests he was an important figure in the musical life of Sheffield in the 20th century. http://www.georgeflinstead.org.uk/index.html A Musician of Renown: The Life and Works of George Frederick Linstead (1908-1974) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old rider 45 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Have you got Reginald Dixon on this list? He was famous as the organist at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool and played on radio programmes from there. I went to Wisewood School with his nephew Paul D*** whose mother's maiden name was Dixon.
