Concert Party’s Dilemma.

The Abbeydale (Sheffield) Orchestra of more than 20 performers, had an uncomfortable journey visiting Thurnscoe Wesleyan Central Hall, Saturday night, to give a programme.

The driver missed his way and found himself at Rawmarsh three times.

They arrived at Thurnscoe nearly an hour late and a good tempered audience awaiting them were given an excellent concert.

Lost On The Way.

 Sheffield Orchestra’s Late Arrival at Concert.

Twenty members of the Abbeydale Orchestra had a rather discomforting experience when they visited the Thurnscoe Wesleyan Central Hall during the week-end. The driver of their motor-bus missed his way, and found himself at Rawmarsh three times before reaching Thurnscoe.

The orchestra arrived nearly hour late for the concert, but they found a patient audience awaiting them.

At the close an enjoyable performance during which solos were given by Mr. Angus Jones and recitals by the Rev. F. Chorley—the conductor of the orchestra rebuked someone in the audience for reading newspaper during a recital.
