Francis Kennard

I'm presuming #320 is Samuel Coleridge Taylor?

Yes it is.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Yes it is.

I'm stuck on the conductor in 308, though - he has a vague similarity to Guido Cantelli (who was working at around the time the photo looks as if it was taken), but I don't think he either composed or met Bax!

It looks early '50s, and the unknown looks about 30-35, so a conductor/composer born around 1920-ish?

It's bugging me too.

[LeMartinPecheur]

Both composed, but the younger was better known as a conductor.

Constant Lambert?

Sir Hamilton Harty

Indeed.

Constant Lambert?

Excellent try, but you're wrong.

[Clues: those are headphones on the stand. And he was a Scot. And I suspect more British people heard his work than that of most other composers or conductors. Ex-RAM.]

I suspect the picture was taken in 1948.

[Pabmusic]

Lovely picture.

Two identical and simultaneous answers from Stockport!

Muir Mathieson?

Oh yes! I suspect they're recording the score for Oliver Twist.

So you and ER are both in Stockport? We'll probably come over this year and stay with my daughter in ... Stockport. Let you know if it happens.
