The History of the Sing
NOT ONE of the men who pioneered the Longwood Musical Festival Company could have imagined that the hillside singsong would reach its one hundredth birthday. But it has, despite increasing difficulties in more recent years.
In 1873 one of the most popular meeting places for the men of the village was undoubtedly the Reading Room in Thornhill Road. Here they met to further their knowledge with the printed word, to dicuss events of the day and, occasionally, we are told, to join in the singing of favourite hymns and choruses. These sing-songs were usually held in the Reading Room, but sometimes the men climbed the steep hillside to give voice around Longwood Tower.
The first minute book doesn’t record the early days, but one of the founders, and the first secretary of the “ Sing,” Mr. Jabez Iredale, was recorded in the fiftieth anniversary notes as saying that the resolution that a “ Sing ” be held was carried unanimously.
The date was Thump Sunday, the annual break in August, and the time, believe it or not, was 7 a.m. A committee was set up and they saw to all the arrangements.
The place, of course, was Nab End Tower Grounds, owned at that time by Mr. John Shaw, of Botham Hall. In their enthusiasm the pioneers forgot to ask permission to use the grounds, but this was readily given by Mr. Shaw. In later years the grounds became the property of Huddersfield Corporation.
Every effort had been made to make sure that there was a good turnout on that bright morning 100 years ago. The various churches had been approached and the local Overture Band were to attend.
The people of Longwood were out of their beds early, eager to take part in the proceedings. After all, it was to some extent a bit of an unknown quantity. But they need not have feared.
Despite the early hour horses and carriages began to arrive in the straggling village. Soon the streets were lined with them as their passengers clambered out and made their way to the Tower. From Holmfirth, Meltham, Lockwood, Marsden Slaithwaite, Mirfield, Kirkburton, Almondbury and even Dewsbury they came. It is recorded that the “ Sing ” was an outstanding success, far in excess of anything the promoters had anticipated.
The musicians and singers were feasted afterwards with bread, beef and ham, currant buns and gallons of hot coffee. Foi a bit of added variety there was an 18-gallon barrel of ale on tap!
And so the “ Mother of All Sings ” was born. In the years which followed it was surprising how many offspring came to the scene. Now her family has diminished until the number of such festivals can be counted on one hand.
The first time that the “ Sing ” made a grant to charity was in 1879, and it is recorded that in that year £20 was sent to the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. From that time on, the surplus from the “ Sings ” has always been given to various charities. Over the years that figure must now be approaching £3,000.
There is one interesting incident regarding the proceeds from the festivals. With the popularity of the “ Sing ” it was felt by some people that the proceeds should be considerably more. Pressure was put on the committee for a change of venue. After all, it was argued, if an enclosed area could be found, then people would have to pay to get in, thereby making sure that the takings would be swelled. The committee yielded.
A field was found somewhere in the Dale Street area, and, in 1908 the “ Sing ” was moved from Nab End Tower to its new locasion. But it didn’t bring the result which some people had hoped for. In fact, after paying all their dues and demands the committee were left with less cash than for some years past. Needless to say, they returned to the Tower the following year.
There are, of course, many stories to be told about “ Sing ” Sundays and the characters who were connected with the festival. Jabez Iredale, in addition to serving as secretary, also volunteered service as president, treasurer and committee member. Another man who has served in all four offices is Mr. Arthur Kaye, Thornhill Road.
One of the longest-serving workers without doubt was Mr. John Andrew Dyson, who was organist and choirmaster at St. Mark’s Church, Longwood, for many years. He was conductor of the “ Sing ” for 45 years (1889-1934). In 1919 he received a gold medal to mark 21 years’ service. When the silver jubilee was celebrated he had completed 34 years without a break. On his death his family presented to the committee a baton in his memory, and this is now used by the present conductor, Mr. Charles W. Pearson, who has been in charge of the orchestra since 1958.
There are many family links in the history. The first president was Mr. John Brearley, while his son, Mr. Crowther Brearley, held the office during the 25th anniversary celebrations. While writing about presidents it should be recorded that in the 100 years only two women have ever been elected president. The first was the late Aid. Mrs. M. C. Gee, and she was followed some time later by Mrs. Nellie Pearson, wife of the conductor. A rare honour indeed.
There is another link with Mr. Joseph Pearson, who conducted from 1881-89, and the present conductor. Mr. Pearson was the great uncle of Mr. Charles Pearson, and the great-great-uncle of Mr. Howard Ball, a former student at the School of Music, who was leader of the orchestra for a short time.
There are, of course, many other people who have given loyal and sterling service to Longwood Sing. Oliver Ainley and Fred Townend. John Brearley and Fred Spencer, Sam Rhodes and Fenton Lunn, Sam Garside and John Calverley. Mr. Harry Balderstone, happily still with us, is another who has been connected with the committee for a great number of years. He was president when the “ Sing ” committee celebrated the centenary of Longwood Tower in 1961.
The orchestra, gathered together on Sing Sunday from anywhere where musicians are prepared to help, has seen enormous fluctuations. It has been reliably reported that the smallest orchestra ever to accompany the singers was four, while the largest was 102. Today, it averages about 30 —-a poor turn-up when you consider the potential in Huddersfield.
The singers, of course, are drawn mainly from the churches in the district. Unlike the early days, there is no rehearsal before the performance.
And so it will be on Sunday, September 2nd. The musicians and the singers will assemble on the specially-built orchestra stand to send out the message that the “ Mother of All Sings ” is celebrating her 100th birthday.
What lies ahead no-one knows.

Centenary Sing - 1973
Surrounded by these silent hills The singers to the Lord give praise,
And all the air with music fills As voices upwards sweetly raise.
Through all the many passing years In pilgrimage returned we came,
Seen days of gladness, days of tears,
But Longwood Sing does still remain.
When these old hymns and psalms we sing Beneath the shadow of the Tower,
We make the very heavens ring In tribute to our Saviour’s power.
The dear place; simple, stark and bare,
To which the faithful flocked so true,
To hear the message given there;
A message old but ever true.
One hundred years go fleeting by,
But ancient tunes do linger long,
The Devil calls; gets no reply,
The singers change, but not the song.
