Michael Head is a well-known figure of the microphone, having broadcast in the early Savoy Hill days in this country,' and also a great deal in Australia and New Zealand.
In his broadcast this afternoon he will be singing a number of songs which he wrote last year. Of these 'Mamble' is set to John Drink-water's poem of that name ; ' The King of China's Daughter' to the poem of that name by Edith Sitwell ; and ' The Blunder ' to Jan Struther 's delightful poem.
Michael Head 's favourite setting is the one he has made of D. G. Rossetti 's ' Fallen Veils' which will be heard this afternoon. Head is now devoting himself to more serious work than in the past, and his songs this afternoon are of a more unusual character than his usual nature' poems.
