Comments: Thank you so much for this tremendous and valuable source of a treasure trove of Army music, much of which would never be heard again without your hard work. Particularly enjoyed the tracks of Hanwell Songster, the brigade I sung in during my teens. How the memories came flooding back. However I had to smile when I read the accompanying description. Sam Hooper never ever played the organ.

Comments: Hello Norm, You didn’t leave any contact details so I cannot contact you direct but it would have been wonderful being around Clapton Hall in those times. I used to sing in a Male Voice Party and Songsters so I also very much enjoy the singing of that Clapton Hall Octette (MF233. Even though the record is old and a bit scratchy it is possible to hear the great harmonies coming through. I wonder if they formed just for the recordings or if they were a regular feature at Army Music Festivals at the time?

Comments: This is a great site, I grew up at The Congress Hall Clapton and I remember well the events of those days. Listening to the male voice octet is a great pleasure.
