HAVING read the request for old records of Thomas Aspinall Burke in the Journal, sorry he was known as The Lancashire Caruso.
My advice to the interested person is to obtain a copy of the book The Lancashire Caruso, The Life of Tom Burke, written by John D Vose.
And forget old records, which are reproduced on CD.
Get the CD I have, which is called Tom Burke Recital.
At the age of 70, his Primavera on that CD is simply stunning.
