This appeared in both the 1908 and 1909 programmes Matlock & Matlock Bath Photographers The Programme Cover Note from the webmistress: You may be curious to know why I should be particularly interested in the Operatic Society. My father was a member for many years and played leading tenor roles. Matlock Operatic Society's productions were part of our family's life. They've been enjoyed by several generations of Matlock and District's inhabitants. There is more on the Matlock Operatic Society web site. © 1996 - Ann Andrews (click link to contact).
