Listeners' request programme
Malcolm McEachern (better known as Jetsam) began life on a ranch in Melbourne. After leaving school he changed his job continually until he discovered he had a three-octave voice. He took up singing as a career and toured the world as a concert artist, his first important appearance being at Queen's Hall, London.
After this he was invited to tour
Australia with Dame Nellie Melba. As ' Mr. Jetsam ' he teamed up with ' Mr. Flotsam' (B. C. Hilliam ) in London in 1926 when they renewed an acquaintance made some years before. Their act soon became popular, and in the following year they appeared at a Royal Command Performance at the Victoria Palace.
He recently made regular radio appearances in the Anglo-Australian Variety series ' Over and Up '.
