Frankie Vaughan's sheet music, scores and band parts

The Frankie Vaughan Archive was donated to Liverpool John Moores University by Mrs Stella Vaughan in 2000. The archive consists of sheet music, scores, orchestral and band parts that were used by Frankie Vaughan throughout his career. 

Many of the scores and parts have handwritten notes relating to the occasions they were used, including stage directions, lead-ins and running orders for stage and television appearances. A basic list of items in the Frankie Vaughan Archive is available here.
