My Aunty (Edna Swain) played in the Cunliffe orchestra during the 30’s and 40’s. You mentioned something about a photo, would it be possible to upload it? Cheers Philip Kenyon |

Well Childers Green has always been in Hapton so I should think that it has always been Mill Hill Lane to the other side of that and then Burnley Lane.

Re: Sir Harrison Birtwistle
I have a history of the Accrington Old Band from 1842 to 1900 compiled by Jim Savage and a further history from 1900 to the present East Lancashire Concert Band. Neither is published but the first one contains a picture of the Reed Band with all the names and the second has a picture of Sir Harrison Birtwistle as a young clarinet player with the North East Lancashire Military Band in the mid 1940's. If anyone is interested in looking at either of these, I can be contacted through the web site of the East Lancs Concert Band. Nick Holme Band Chairman.

Re: Sir Harrison Birtwistle
I'm researching Harrison as we speak and I believe he may be my great uncle.he was born in accrington as was I and most of my family. I have spoken to some of the surviving elders and it looks as if we are related, I've contacted his agent and he's good me he will pass my details on and Harrison will contact me. It will be great if we are related as I believe we are the only two Birtwistle to break into entertainment. I have been a Lancashire based actor for three years now and things are looking good. I will post another comment when Harrison gets back to me. Ps I know a bunch of names you guys have mentioned on this thread it's nice to speak with you.
Thanks guys Michael Birtwistle |
