Letter
Ida Carroll
Royal Northern College Of Music (RNCM), Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1974

Numbers for a staff party in 1973 and 1974. There was wine, food, a band and other entertainment. Anyone remember the shindig?

According to Ida Gertrude Carroll (1905-1995, student, secretary and then principal of the Northern School of Music), she "was prepared to play Fairy Godmother if necessary, as otherwise we should have no catering or cleaning staff left, such was the atmosphere of depression." Yikes! Definitely in need of a party!
