In time the character of the Upton Choir was changed, Boys being substituted for females & for some time I acted as Choirmaster to the Boys & they came for their singing lessons to the Strand. Among them I remember Tom Oliver, G Iredale, Sidney Ingram etc etc. Mr J Craddock succeeded Mr Fowler as Organist & he was a good one & was by far the best Choirmaster I have ever been under in any church & it really was a pleasure to attend the Upton weekly practice as everything went pleasantly and smoothly. After being in the Choir about 10 years [I resigned].
