The Hallé, Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1945

Griff writes to Ida whilst she is on holiday in Port Patrick. "Now and again I hear gloomy remarks by BBC gentlemen about the West coast of Scotland and its weather" and checks the "old family weather glass" to see how things compare.
He was met by a chap who recognised him as being associated with the Northern School of Music and would like to send his young daughter there to learn piano. He even knows someone who knows Ida, who he met in London.
He references rations being organised, booking Hallé season tickets, listening to the radio, playing cards and football.
