March 1928: Govan School’s Concert – Verse-Speaking Choir, and Miss Nessie Knight

A short article on page eleven of the Daily Record and Mail, on Saturday the 10th of March, 1928, reads:

 

“GOVAN SCHOOL’S CONCERT.

 

The Necessitous Childrens’ Holiday Camps Fund benefited considerably as the result of a concert held in the

South Govan Hall, Glasgow, last night by the staff and pupils of Harmony Row School.

 

There were choral items and dancing, and a special feature was a verse-speaking choir. The soloists included Miss

Nessie Knight, elocutionist; Miss Renee McCulloch, soprano; Mr Alfred McDougall, baritone; and Miss Mamie Bowie,

accompanist.”
