WHILE CHECKING NAMES IN THE BOOK A POSSIBLE NEW EVENT
ARTHUR HINCHCLIFFE DID A DRAWUNG WHILE SEARCHING THIS
CAME UP

Walter Widdop (19 April 1892 – 6 September 1949) was a British operatic tenor who is best remembered for his Wagnerian performances. His repertoire also encompassed works by Verdi, Leoncavallo, Handel and Bach.


Widdop was born at Norland, near Halifax, Yorkshire, England.[1] As a teenager, he worked in a woollen mill and sang in a church choir.[1] He also won a number of singing prizes in his native county, earning praise for his "God-given" voice, which was honed by a local teacher, Arthur Hinchcliffe.[2] He served with the British Army during World War One and married in 1917.
