 Borwick fell in with the idea, and their first London recital was in December 1893 at St James's Hall, followed by a national tour.For the first two years Borwick was accompanist, as well as playing his solo pieces, but later Samuel Liddle was brought in to accompany, and the team was complete.Their watchword was that no care should be taken of hands or voice, there should be no interest in publicity, and musical values should prevail.
