A 20/20 Legacy: the centenary of the Northern School of Music

Artefact

Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Hilda Collens, Granville Hill
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1940

Griff writes to Ida "sorry to hear you've been losing sleep because of over-worry; anxiety just isn't worth while - though I know it is difficult to avoid - so you mustn't do it again.
He reckons the upcoming performance by the school will be brilliant if the rehearsals have gone so well. "It's quite probable Miss C. will have the pleasure of reading a warm notice from Mr. Granville Hill."
Griff isn't impressed with Ashton, where the travel agency has based him. "No business, no Boots' library, no W.H. Smith library, no architecture, a dull lot of people." But, he is enjoying managing the office himself and approves of their cricket team.
He dreamt they went to a strange cinema.
