ABSTRACT

Some of the events and the musicians mentioned in the two preceding chapters are recalled by Pedro Tillett in somewhat disjointed memoirs written in 1948 at the age of 76. As a 15-year-old apprentice in 1887 he used to walk daily to the Cork Street office by way of Primrose Hill to pick up the bus at the top of Park Street. He used to observe such characters as Dr Goode-Adams ('always well-dressed with an air of affluence') as he drove his pair of fine horses leading the carriage from his home at the junction of Gloucester and Regents Park Roads (on which site Cecil Sharp House stands today), while opposite lived Sir Alexander Mackenzie, then Principal of the Royal Academy of Music.
