Alyn Ainsworth

Alyn Ainsworth (b.Bolton on 24 August 1924 - d. London 4 October 1990, aged 66) was a singer and dance band conductor in the late 20th century. He was educated at Canon Slade Grammar School on a scholarship but never completed his education there because at the age of 14 his talent as a singer was recognised by Herman Darewski who signed him up to tour with his dance band. When his voice broke he learnt to play the guitar and played in local dance bands whilst working as hat salesman then for Bolton Parks Department and later as a golf pro.
