EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from circa 1910, His Excellency the Governor of South Australia, Sir Henry Ayers, is seen posing with Reverend W.J. Mayers and his Musical Boys touring party. The Reverend, accompanied by a group of talented young singers and instrumentalists, embarked on an extensive tour of Australasia between 1908 and 1910. Their mission was to provide musical entertainment and raise funds for the Girls Village Homes, a charitable organization dedicated to helping children in need back in England. The Musical Boys performed an impressive 700 services and meetings across Australia and New Zealand, captivating audiences with their uplifting music. Their efforts bore fruit as they managed to raise an impressive 17,500 pounds for the construction of the Australasian Hospital within the Girls Village Homes. The proceeds from their concerts and meetings were a testament to the generosity and goodwill of the people of Australasia towards their counterparts in England, who were facing challenging times. The image captures the moment of camaraderie and accomplishment as the Reverend and his Musical Boys are joined by the esteemed Governor, who holds a bagpipe in salute to their cause. The presence of the Governor underscores the significance of their tour and the impact it had on the community. The Musical Boys' tour stands as a poignant reminder of the power of music and charity to bring people together, transcending geographical boundaries and uniting hearts and minds for a noble cause.
