- Title:
- The Wandering Minstrels Archive.
- Scope & Content:
-
Archive of the Wandering Minstrels, an amateur orchestra which gave charity concerts across England and private 'smoking concerts' in London between 1860 and 1898. The orchestra members were drawn largely from the ranks of the aristocracy and military, and the orchestra was conducted by, successively, the Honourable Seymour Egerton, Lord Gerald Fitzgerald and Lionel Benson Esq.
The collection comprises three folio volumes of photographs, concert programmes, drawings and newspaper cuttings, together with two ledgers, a manuscript score of an overture by Seymour Egerton and a glass case of button badges worn by the orchestra members.
