2024 marks the centenary of the birth of one of the most prominent figures in the world of British Light Music, Ernest Tomlinson.
In addition to his undoubted prowess as a composer, arranger and conductor, Ernest was for many years the 'engine' of the Light Music Society and was responsible for rescuing a huge amount of sheet music, much of it literally from BBC skips !
Thanks to his sterling efforts, The Library of Light Music is today a thriving adjunct to the LMS in the capable hands of ET's daughter, Hilary Ashton, who will deliver an illustrated talk on the life and work of Ernest at the meeting.
