Hi everyone.
Im looking to find out things bout my late Grandad.
He used to sing at a club in Pitsmore Probably in the 50's.
His name was Ernest Hughes.
He made one record and I would love to find it.
I never met my Grandad but wish I had! As I am a singer too.
If anyone could give me any information at all even if only slightly related to what I want to ultimatley find I would greatly appreciate it.
Thankyou :)

This would most likely have been the Pitsmoor Working mens club or the Pye Bank Road WMC, neither of which remain. Give that, your grandad would have probably worked the south yorkshire wmc clubs circiut so it may pay you to have a dig around the agencies?

Hi mate, if i were you i would get in touch with the burngreave messenger. This is a month'ly community newsletter, and if you wish they will include your enquiry. There are a lot of older people in that area that are not online so its an avenue you could try, hope this helps.:)
