' Since that memorable school concert he has given .two ptblic recitals, on one! occasion raising the sum of over £30, for the Manchester Christie Cancer Hospital, He has also played at an inrortant Darwen concert. , His! appearance: there was due to 'gnlacoident. The pianist who was to'have played a Mozart'concerto, scalded her hand, and William hurriedly leam^ the work and gave a I successful performance in spite] of a mtoimum of r^earsals with the orchestra. Receiving his first music le^on a fortolght before he was Seven, William is a pupil of Mf. George Oldham, of Aertogton, a bfother oflMr.'DeirickjOldham, th4 famous tenor. His father Is keenly interested to music, and was a' Buccetoful tenor to the National Eisteddfod to ilfi09. 'While-itill very small, William used to play the harmonium, ;and his'parents tacouraged him by buying a piano. Under Mr. 'Oldham’s^ direction he made rapid strides, ahd when ten years old; he i won the second prize at Colne Musical Festival in the section for bbys between'ten, and sixteen. !He how holdii a .Lancashire County Exhibition (£30) for two years, and. he: hopes to sit for a Coui ty Scholarship.' only two of which'-are availE ble.
