John Liptrot Hatton
John Liptrot Hatton (12 October 1809 – 10 September 1886) was an English musical composer, conductor, pianist, accompanist and singer.〔See 'John Liptrot Hatton', ''Musical Times'' 50 (1909), pp. 641–46.〕
==Early career==
Hatton was born in Liverpool to a musical family, for both his father and grandfather were violinists. Although largely self-taught as a musician, he became a pupil of Michael Maybrick (uncle of the singer and composer Stephen Adams), who was also the teacher of Charles Santley's father, and also studied in the academy of a Mr. Molyneux. By the age of 16 he had become organist in the churches of Woolton and Childwall and at the Roman Catholic church in Liverpool. (Auditioning for Woolton, he played a voluntary upon the street-song "All round my Hat", hinting at his own name.〔William Smart, ''Musical Memories'' (Sonnenschein, London 1888) (& Reprint by Cambridge University Press 2013), XVIII: John Liphot Hatton, pp. 309–323. This book is the origin of the mis-spelling of the name 'Liptrot'.〕) A man of many-sided talents and a broad humour attending them, he appeared as an actor on the Liverpool stage.〔C. Santley, ''Student and Singer: The Reminiscences of Charles Santley'' (Edward Arnold, London 1892), p. 6.〕 Subsequently he found his way to London as a member of Macready's company at Drury Lane, appearing in a cast led by Macready and Kean in Shakespeare's ''Othello'' in December 1832.〔J.A. Fuller Maitland, 'Hatton, John Liptrot', in L. Stephen and S. Lee (Eds), ''Dictionary of National Biography'' Vol. 25 (Elder Smith & Co., London 1891), p. 166.〕 Santley tells that Hatton took the part of Joe Blueskin (who has the song "Jolly Nose") in the play of ''Jack Sheppard'' when it was mounted independently at the Liver Theatre (the 'Little Liver') in Liverpool, simultaneously with the London production (of 1839) in which Paul Bedford took the same role: Hatton scored so great a success that the London production fell flat when it came to Liverpool.〔Santley, ''Student and Singer'', pp. 6–7.〕 Meanwhile he was making his mark as a musician: in 1835 Thomas Attwood wrote to Mendelssohn, "We have recently had a new establishment here which is called 'The Society of British Musicians', in the hope of bringing forward native talent... I, however, wish you would look at your cloak, or great-coat, lest you should have had a bit cut out of it: for there is a young man of the name of Hatton, who seems to have got a little bit of it, indeed he seems to assimilate to your style without plagiary more than anyone I have met with."〔Letter of 9 February 1835, quoted in ''Musical Times'', cited in Harold Simpson, ''A Century of Ballads, 1810–1910, Their Composers and Singers,'' (Mills and Boon, London c.1911), pp. 127–28.〕
