Article in British Bandsman 29/8/1936 states - "One band -Mossley I believe at was- had got well on with the piece when it was stopped by the adjudicator, Mr F.Haynes. After a wait they had to start over again. The reason was that the adjudicator could not hear the band properly owing to the liner 'Campania' coming up the river".
Granville Bantock was musical director of the Tower, and contest umpire.
