Default 1934 England Autograph Fred & Harry Mortimer

Well, the title of this forum is Autographs, primarily sports, so I thought Leon might let me get away with posting this here.

I recently acquired a vintage autograph book that contained several autographs of sports athletes from England (30s - 50s, mainly Olympic athletes). I know nothing about autographs of English athletes, but I thought it would be interesting. At the very back of the book was this folded 7x8 program from 1934 detailing a musical concert by a band named "Fodens Motor Works Band". It is autographed by none other than 2 rather famous conductors, Fred Mortimer and his son Harry. It is also autographed by a 3rd person, but I cannot make out that autograph.

If there is anyone that is familiar with this band, the conductors, or the program please share any information you may have. Also, I have no idea if autographs from this category are collectable.

Happy New Year and thanks for sharing.
