Musical memory

A FORMER pupil of Fairfield Grammar School is asking Voice readers to help rediscover a Christmas carol from her youth.

Lynda Bradbury, as was, who is now 73 and lives in France, recalls singing As with Gladness Men of Old to a special arrangement by her then music teacher, possibly Mrs de Vere.

Lynda’s husband tells us she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 20 years ago and is now in a wheelchair, but these musical memories remain vivid and cherished.

Does anyone remember this arrangement or Mrs de Vere?
