Conisbrough News – At the Local Cinema
I found myself seated alongside two former Conisbrough residents and a local cinema on Friday night (writes our Conisbrough correspondent), and as they were both authorities in the musical world, wondered at their presence together.
One was Mr W. E. Rawding, a well-known Doncaster teacher of music and conductor of one of the operatic Society’s there, who, when a boy, lives with his parents at their Croftt house, conisborough, and the other was Mr W. A. Twelves, whose retirement from the service of the National provincial bank was reported in the paper recently.
An interval in the program showed the reason for their presence. There were three ladies from the North West of England, who had reached the area final of a “Golden Voice” competition and Mr Rawding and Mr Twelves along with the theatre’s musical director, selected one (A Hull entrant) to go forward to the final in London.
