abellewoo 0 #1 Posted April 5, 2019 I know this might be a long shot, however my father was in the Sheffield schools choir which sang to Winston Churchill at City Hall (1952?) and for years and years he has searched for a copy of the recording. My father turns 80 soon and I’d love to be able to share a recording and/or a photo with him. If anyone has any such thing, or any further information, I’d be incredibly grateful. thank you so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Top Cats Hat 10 #2 Posted April 5, 2019 Do you actually know if this was recorded or are you just assuming that it was? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

My dad said it was recorded - he knows it exists. Obviously I’m only going by what he has told me and I have done some research, enough to know it exists but never successful enough to get my hands on it. There is a gentleman on here (sparkytom) who has recording of it but I fear his last post on here was a year ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Top Cats Hat 10 #4 Posted April 5, 2019 It may have been recorded by the BBC in 1952. That might be one avenue worth exploring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sparkytom 10 #6 Posted November 3, 2021 A bit late answering your query. I was in the Sheffield Schools Choir when they made a recording of Jerusalem but it wasn't in the presence of Winston Churchill. The recording was done at Abbeydale Girls School. We recorded 4 songs on 2 78rpm records, record 1 had Jerusalem backed with Non Nobis Domina', Record 2 Had Nymphs and Shepherds on one side but have forgotten what the other song was. I do have a copy of record 1 and have managed to digitise the two songs. I enter a photo of the session on the Sheffield archive site Picture Sheffield the title being "Sheffield Schools Choir" Regards Sparkytom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
