Music &c. |
The term "Music &c." was used in this account book to cover daily payments to the band, the properties department and a kettle drummer. Comparison with other account books suggests that the bulk of the money (generally 80-90%) went to the band, 5s went to the kettle drummer and the rest of the money went to the properties. |

Mr Wood by Certificate |
BD vol. 16, pp. 233-4 lists a John Francis Wood, organist and violinist, who played in Covent Garden's oratorio bands 1793-1800, but it seems unlikely that he was the main paid here; more likely the recipient was William or Benjamin Wood(s), paid in relation to Thomas Harris on several occasions between 1785 and 1798. |
