Eccles Boys Choir: A memory of Patricroft

Eccles Boys Choir

A Memory of Patricroft.

I was a member of the Eccles Boys Choir which was founded by Allan Warrington who was a teacher at Beech Street School he was also the choir master at Eccles Parish Church and also a part time organist at Manchester Cathedral .
I was a member of both church choirs due to Allan who was a great man and encouraged many young boys to join the choirs .
We also made a record for the BBC Manchester radio which was played a lot on Sunday morning as the songs were very Sundayish songs .If anyone has a copy of this I would like to get a copy .
I now live in Melbourne Australia and have done for many years and I will be 80 next year and it is good that I have found this web site.

Hi. Alan Warrington taught me to write! And taught me to sing. On my way back from a funeral in Peel Green and driving back along Liverpool road I saw Mr. Warrington, loping along on those long legs of his but he must have been retired by then. The girls in my class were favoured over the scruffy boys with Mr. W. and quite right too.
