The 19th May 2014 marks 50 years since the death of Lawrence Wright, the Leicester born composer and publisher who dominated the popular music scene of the early 20th Century.

In his lifetime he was responsible for hundreds of hit songs, launching the magazine Melody Maker, and running Blackpool鈥檚 longest running pier show.

Among the stars were the Beverley Sisters, who Lawrie convinced to perform in his Blackpool show, despite them taking America by storm at the time.
