Northumberland / Re: There must be a record somewhere - Thomas Hawdon
« on: Tuesday 10 August 21 18:07 BST (UK) »
I'm reading this thread with intrigue and delight! I was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and have been recently looking for composers from the region whereupon I came across Matthias Hawdon. I am in the process of arranging one of his compositions and will record it for my Youtube channel very shortly.
I like to put some information in my recording about the composer. Do you have any further information about Matthias Hawdon that may be interesting to share? The information I have to date is based on the Wikipedia entry but also a very interesting book called "Newcastle's Musical Heritage - An Introduction" - see here: https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/33934520/newcastles-musical-heritage-an-introduction-by- (details of Matthias are on p22)
Ideally, I'm looking for a portrait of him... any luck?
