madannie77 89 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
