Robert McDougall's moving tribute to the Bandmaster of the Titanic who lost his life in the disaster along with all the rest of the heroic bandsmen. Robert McDougall has researched the life of Wallace Hartley and has managed to track down decendants of the leading musician on the White Star liner Titanic, who with the others of the ship's band played until the ship sank beneath them in a gallant attempt to calm the fears of passengers and crew alike. That Hartley and his fellow musicians behaved heroically has never been disputed and they have over the close to 100 years since the disaster become the stuff of legend. Robertt McDougall reveals the man behind the legend in this sympathetic insight into the life and times of Wallace Hartley.
