Harrison Birtwistle (Don't you dare call him Harry** lived in Huncoat with his parents. He failed at teaching me to lay clarinet, I think I got him a little interested in Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmon, he enjoyed their counterpoint playing.
He was a member of one of the bands which used to march [and play] in the Whit Sunday processions.
We went o Paris together (1953) he wished to visit Debussy's grave.
His house was up a side lane to the right just after the pub, not the Griffin.
