on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Frederick Hartley has been broadcasting, on and off, since he was twenty. That was eight years ago, in the early days of broadcasting. He had then not Jong left the Royal Academy of Music, where, a brilliant student, he was the official accompanist-a post offering probably more valuable experience than any other open to a student. Since that time he has done all kinds of work : theatre conducting and broadcasting in Swoden, playing with Jack Hylton's Band at the Kit-Cat Club, film work, and recording for the gramophone companies. At one time ho was official accompanist at the Dundee Station of the B.B.C. Fred Hartley and his Novelty Quintet are now among the regular broadcasters, a fact which is in itself an endorsement of their popularity.
