Three short clips are an illustration of the traditional way boys were taught to sing: 'O For the wings of a Dove' is fom 'Hue and Cry' and also gives a glimpse of war-torn London. The other two clips are from 'Tom Brown's Schooldays': Cockles and Mussels is a great example of how a boy should be trained to sing.
Bob Goff-Glasby brings you a rare clip: the very FIRST filming of King's Colledge, Cambridge on Christmas eve 1939. Does anyone know the name of the soloist? Is he still alive? He must be over eighty, if alive!
