Untitled[edit]

The article has disproportionately much about the Leicestershire Schools Symphony Orchestra, making it unbalanced, so could do with more on other things (or less on this). Ben Finn (talk) 19:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

Might it be possible, please, to get an RS for the correct pronunciation of his surname? DBaK (talk) 21:59, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I knew him personally and pronunciation is as expected: "rid" - "out", stress on the first syllable. Lawrence18uk (talk) 19:48, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Early teaching years[edit]

The Independent obituary refers to him becoming Dir of Music at a Preparatory School in Kent in 1955 - anyone know which one? St David's Prep in West Wickham (a speculative guess)? Lawrence18uk (talk) 20:53, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
