Harold Coombs was appointed assistant organist at St. Oswald's Church, Millhouse, Sheffield, at the age of eleven. Three years later he was on the stage as a solo pianist. But at sixteen he went back to his first love, as organist at St. Paul's Church, Norton Lees, Sheffield. At eighteen he was musical director and organist at the Abbeydale Picture House, Sheffield, and gave his first broadcast from the old 6FL Station there.
