1961-64  Music

“Our senior music tutor, Miss Daphne Bird, grilled us in music history, keyboard harmony and theory. She made us into a half-decent choir to perform in Wakefield Cathedral with a modern, discordant piece, ‘Missa Brevis’ by Kodaly …”

Mike Talbot briefly worked as an apprentice to become a Mechanical Engineer, until he was persuaded that his true vocation lay elsewhere. He joined the student community at Bretton hall in 1961.
