Conducted by Kneale Kelley.
Mary Lake (soprano)
Kneale Kelley has as long an association with the BBC and broadcasting as any figure in music. He was leader of the original Wireless Orchestra; later he became leader of the Theatre Orchestra, then conductor of the BBC Variety Orchestra.
Kelley took part in the first broadcast of the late Sir Edward Elgar's music, conducted by the composer, and in the first all-Delius programme ever broadcast. Since leaving the BBC he has been Music Director of the Municipal Orchestras at Eastbourne and Scarborough. Last year he went to Buxton. When not working there he is a tireless worker for ENSA, acting in an advisory capacity as well as touring the various Commands with his own orchestra.
