Nat Gonella's Georgians take their name from their signature tune ' Georgia '-the number with which, by the way, Gonella first attracted the attention of listeners. He appeared, at the age of sixteen, in an Archie Pitt -Gracie Fields show, and during his engagement Gracie Fields gave him a gramophone and some swing records. Through these Gonella heard trumpet-playing of a kind he had never heard before, with the result that he himself began to study the trumpet, and to develop his distinctive technique.
